Getting Started with cPanel

Create Redirect

1. Log into cPanel
2. Navigate to Redirects, located under the Domains section
   
3. Choose Permanent (301) or Temporary (302) from the Type drop-down
   TIP: A permanent redirect will notify the visitor’s browser to update any bookmarks that are linked to the page that is being redirected. Temporary redirects will not update the visitor’s bookmarks. In most cases, Permanent (301) is the desired option.
   
4. Choose the domain to be redirected from the https?://(www.)? drop-down
   
5. In the next field, you can specify a page or directory to be redirected
   NOTE: Leave this blank to redirect the domain itself.
   
6. Enter the full destination URL in the Redirects to field
   NOTE: Redirect must begin with a protocol, e.g., http:// or https://
   
   
7. Choose the desired option under www. redirection
   TIP: Redirect with or without www. is generally the recommended option.
   
   
8. Check Wild Card Redirect if desired
   NOTE: Checking the Wild Card Redirect Box will redirect all files within a directory to the same filename in the redirected directory. A Wild Card Redirect cannot be used to redirect your main domain to a different directory on your site.
    EXAMPLE: domain.com/test.php would redirect to domain2.com/test.php
