How to Set Up a Redirect
1) Log in to cPanel.
2) Under the Domains section, click the Redirects icon
3) From the Type dropdown menu, select your preferred type of redirect.
Permanent 301 is a redirect that will update the visitor's bookmarks and direct search engines to the new site.
Temporary 302 is a redirect that will redirect the visitor or search engine but will not update the bookmark, and search engines will continue to index to the original page.
4) From the https?://(www.)? Dropdown menu, choose the domain name you would like to redirect.
5) In the Redirects To field, enter the full URL of the page you will be redirecting.
6) Select one of the following www. redirection options to dictate whether or not the domain will be redirecting:
- Only redirect with www. will only redirect visitors that type www. as part of the URL.
- Redirect with or without www. will redirect all visitors regardless of whether they use www. or not.
- Do Not Redirect www. will not redirect visitors that use www. as part of the URL.
7) Clicking the Wild Card Redirect option allows users to set up a redirect to the same file on a new destination.
- With Wild Card Redirect, www.example.com/about.html will redirect to www.example-destination.com/about.html.
- Without Wild Card Redirect, www.example.com/about.html will redirect to www.example-destination.com.
8) Click Add to create the redirect as specified.
