Hi
httpS:// is securty encrypted. http:// isn't. To have the http:// change to the httpS:// you should use a redirect. If you can't do this via the control panel just put the appropriate meta tag in your homepage.
e.g. user types in http://yoursite.com, is taken to http://yoursite.com/index.html; but that redirects to https://yoursite.com/start.htm (or whatever)

It depends if you want unsecure and secure bits to your site, personally seeing a security message when I'm just browsing makes me think twice, almost like the Internet version of a pushy salesman. But if you want it secure right from the home page as you seem to, yes DNS entries would probably be a better way as you don't have to rename anything. Provided you get DNS access of course.
if anyone is not sure what SSL is, wikipedia has the answer. Combined threads

what do u mean DNS entries ?
change the name server ?
change the name server ?
Yeah, make the A record point to https://www.yoursite.com then resolve that address to the IP of the server its on.
Not so handy if you want to split the site into non secure areas etc.
Another way around is to have http://www.yoursite.com and https://secure.yoursite.com

If you have the hosting with 1&1 then they'll have access to the full DNS entries, if you only have the domain with them, you get the crappy referer script.
Have a look in the halp documentation about DNS entries on thier site if you have a package with them, as i'm not quite sure how they do it.
