Can't link to sites without the https:// URL

I can't link to sites that don't use the https:// starting URL. For example, I can link to google because it started with http://, but I can't link to stackoverflow, because it doesn't. I'm using a web server called ipage, and my domain is in a sub directory.

When I click on the stackoverflow link, it brings me to a page like this: www.mydomainname.com/www.stackoverflow.com.

<a href = 'https://www.google.com/'> https://www.google.com/ </a>
<a href = 'www.stackoverflow.com'> www.stackoverflow.com </a>

use this approach

<a href = '//www.google.com/'> https://www.google.com/ </a>
<a href = '//www.stackoverflow.com'> www.stackoverflow.com </a>

and it will work fine.

just remove http and https from start and put // infront
