With the Redirects tool in cPanel you can redirect the visitors of your website from a source URL to a target URL. You will get cPanel and other relevant technical resources with URL hosting<\/a> plans. Note that redirects only update an .htaccess file. If the domain has been added to the cPanel account, you should find it in the list on this page.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> Avoid creating a redirect for domain.com to www.domain.com or from domain.com to domain.com\/index.something. If you do that, it will lead to an infinite loop. If you need to control the www and index page, use mod_rewrite by adding .htaccess code.<\/p>\n

Steps to Set Up a Redirect<\/h3>\n

1. Log into cPanel.<\/p>\n

2. Go to the Domains<\/strong> section and click the Redirects<\/strong> icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. From the Type<\/strong> drop-down menu, select the type of redirect you want to set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Permanent 301:<\/strong> With this redirect, the visitor’s bookmarks and direct search engines will get updated to the new site.<\/li>\n
  • Temporary 302:<\/strong> With this redirect, the visitor or search engine will get redirected but will not update the bookmark, and search engines will continue to index to the original page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    4. Next, from the https?:\/\/(www.)?<\/strong> drop-down menu, choose the domain name you want to redirect.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5. For redirecting a single page or directory, use the text field that starts with the forward-slash (\/)<\/strong> to type the name of the folder or file.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    6. In the Redirects to<\/strong> field, mention the complete URL of the page to which you want to redirect.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    7. From the www. redirection<\/strong> options as below, select one to find whether or not the domain will be redirecting:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Only redirect with www.<\/strong> : It will redirect only the visitors that enter www. as part of the URL.<\/li>\n
    • Redirect with or without www.<\/strong> : It will redirect all visitors whether they use www. or not.<\/li>\n
    • Do Not Redirect www.<\/strong> : It will not redirect visitors using www. as part of the URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      8. If you click the Wild Card Redirect<\/strong> option, you can set up a redirect to the same file on a new location.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • If you select Wild Card Redirect, www.designauraexample.com\/about.html will redirect to www.designauraexample-destination.com\/about.html<\/li>\n
      • If you don\u2019t select Wild Card Redirect, www. designauraexample.com\/about.html will redirect to www.designauraexample-destination.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        9. Once done, click on the Add<\/strong> button to create the redirect as you have set.<\/p>\n

        After this, when visitors browse the exact URL specified by you, they will be redirected to the target site you have allocated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
