How to redirect a dedicated IP address to the domain name

Introduction

Some users want traffic to their dedicated IP address redirected to the primary domain on their account. This requires a custom Apache included.

Procedure

1. Log into WHM as the 'root' user.
2. Navigate to "Home / Service Configuration / Apache Configuration / Include Editor."
3. Select "All versions" from the "I wish to edit the Pre VirtualHost configuration include file for" dropdown menu.
4. Add a VirtualHost entry similar to the following in the text box.

   <VirtualHost 203.0.113.2:80>
   ServerName domain.tld
   ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.tld
   DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^203\.0\.113\.2$
   RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
   </IfModule>
   </VirtualHost>

   Please note that the IP address, domain name, admin email address, and document root must be replaced with the appropriate values for the domain to be redirected to.
5. Click the "Update" button.
6. Click the "Restart Apache" button.
