Question

How do I add a redirect for a domain?

Answer

1. Log in to the cPanel account for the domain's owner.
2.  Navigate to Domains / Redirects.

3. Select a redirect type from the Type menu.

   Permanent (301) — This setting notifies the visitor’s browser to update its records.

   Temporary (302) — This setting does not update the visitor’s bookmarks.

4. Select a domain name from the menu, or select **All Public Domains** to redirect all of the domains that your cPanel account controls.

5. In the next text box, enter the rest of the URL from which you wish for the server to redirect visitors.
   For example, if you wish to redirect http://domain.tld/directory.file.html to another URL, enter directory/file.html in this text box.

   Note: You must specify a protocol in this text box. For example, http://, or https://.

6.  In the Redirects to text box, enter the URL to which you wish to redirect users.

7. Select one of the following settings:

   Only redirect with www. — This setting only redirects visitors who enter the www. prefix before the domain name part of the URL.

   Redirect with or without www. — This setting redirects all users, regardless of whether the visitor enters the www. prefix before the domain name part of the URL.

   Do Not Redirect www. — This setting does not redirect users who enter the www. prefix before the domain name part of the URL.

   Note: The interface disables the www. redirection setting if you select **All Public Domains.**.

8. Select the Wild Card Redirect setting if you wish to redirect all files within a directory to the same filename in the new directory.
9. Click Add.
