🔀 How to Create a Redirect in cPanel
A redirect lets you send visitors from one page or domain to another. This is useful if you’ve changed your domain name or want to forward an old page to a new one.
📝 Step-by-Step
1. Log in to cPanel
Log in to cPanel directly from your Client Area.
👉 See the full guide here.
2. Open Redirects
In cPanel, scroll down to the “Domains” section.
Click “Redirects”.
3. Choose Redirect Type
From the dropdown menu, select the type of redirect you want to use:
301 Permanent Redirect
Recommended if the page/domain has permanently moved.
Updates visitor bookmarks and search engines.
302 Temporary Redirect
Used for temporary redirections.
Search engines continue indexing the original page.
4. Enter Domain and Destination
From the list “http://(www.)”, choose the domain you want to redirect.
To redirect a specific page or folder, enter it in the field next to it.
In the “Redirects to” field, type the full web address of the target destination (e.g.,
https://www.newdomain.com).
⚠️ Always include the protocol (http:// or https://).
5. Choose www Settings
Redirect only with www – only addresses with www will redirect.
Redirect with or without www – all addresses redirect, regardless of www.
Do not redirect www – the www version will not redirect.
6. Wildcard Redirect (Optional)
Enable Wildcard Redirect if you want all subpages to point to their equivalent on the new domain.
Example:
www.example.com/about→www.newdomain.com/about
Without wildcard, all visitors are redirected only to the new domain’s homepage.
7. Save
Click “Add” to create the redirect.
✅ Done!
When someone visits the original address, they will automatically be redirected to your new destination.
