\u0422he\u00a0Redirects\u00a0interface allows you to redirect all domains in cPanel and their internal resources to other domains and URLs. A Redirect sends all domain visitors (and search engine bots) to a different URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u00a0URL\u00a0is the domain along with the web resources after its name, e.g. http:\/\/sourcedomain.com\/site\/address.php<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

There are two types of redirects – 301 Permanent<\/strong> and\u00a0302 Temporary<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n
\"info-icon\"<\/td>\nAll redirects through the cPanel interface are leaving a piece of code in the .htaccess file.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Add Redirect<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Add the source domain (sourcedomain.com) to cPanel (as\u00a0addon\u00a0or\u00a0parked<\/a>\u00a0domain) with your account\u2019s main domain name servers.<\/p>\n

The target domain (targetdomain.com) does not necessarily have to be in cPanel or to be with your account\u2019s main domain name servers.<\/p>\n

\"Creating(1<\/strong>)\u00a0Type<\/strong>: Select the redirect type – permanent 301 or temporary 302. In most cases it is better to choose a permanent redirect 301.<\/p>\n

Select a redirect 302 if it is really going to be temporary, for example, in cases when maintenance is performed or access to the web source is temporarily restricted.<\/p>\n

301 Moved Permanently and 302 Found are HTTP status codes received in response to web clients and search engines bots trying to access the redirected URL.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n
\"info-icon\"<\/td>\nA 301 Moved Permanently status code will notify the visitor\u2019s browser to update its bookmarks with the new URL. It will also notify the bots<\/a> that the requested web resource has a new URL.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\"Choose<\/td>\n(2<\/strong>)\u00a0http:\/\/(www.)?<\/strong>: Select a source domain from the drop-down menu to set up a redirect.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you keep the **All Public Domains* option in this field, all domains on the account will be redirected.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
\"Whether<\/td>\n(3<\/strong>)\u00a0\/<\/strong>: To redirect only this domain, leave the field empty. For example, if you wish to redirect only sourcedomain.com without its internal URLs such as sourcedomain.com\/dir\/file.html.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you redirect a directory\/file or URL, they will be separately redirected. For example, if users access http:\/\/sourcedomain.com, they will not be redirected.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"Enter(4<\/strong>)\u00a0Redirects to<\/strong>: This is the target domain.<\/p>\n

You must specify a protocol in this text box. For example, http:\/\/, https:\/\/ or ftp:\/\/.<\/p>\n

Enter a URL where visitors will be redirected:
\n– a domain or
\n– directory URL, e.g. http:\/\/targetdomain.com\/directory or
\n– file URL, e.g. http:\/\/targetdomain.com\/directory\/file.html<\/p>\n

The target domain address will be displayed in the address bar after redirection.<\/p>\n

\"Whether(5<\/strong>)\u00a0www. redirection<\/strong>: This option refers to the source domain that will be redirected (sourcedomain.com).<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Only redirect with www.<\/strong>\u00a0– Redirect is active only for the URL with the www. prefix before the domain name part. e.g. www.sourcedomain.com.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Redirect with or without www.<\/strong>\u00a0– Redirect is active for both URLs with or without the www. prefix before the domain name part, e.g. www.sourcedomain.com or sourcedomain.com.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Do not redirect www.<\/strong>\u00a0– Redirect is active only for the URL without www. prefix before the domain name part, e.g. sourcedomain.com. This option is suitable for setting up a redirect, beginning with www. prefix, e.g. sourcedomain.com will be always redirected to www.sourcedomain.com.<\/p>\n

\"Wildcard(6<\/strong>)\u00a0Wildcard redirect<\/strong>: Select the Wildcard Redirect option if you wish to redirect all files within a directory to the same filename in the new directory.<\/p>\n

The Wildcard option basically redirects everything after the source domain name and it is added to the new URL. For example, when accessing:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/source<\/strong>domain.com\/dir\/index.html<\/strong><\/p>\n

users will be redirected to the same resource, but with the new domain:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/target<\/strong>domain.com\/dir\/index.html<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

When redirecting through cPanel-> Redirects, the system adds the redirect code to the end of the .htaccess file. Some content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla! or Drupal might not be able to handle that code. This is due to the fact that the application follows the rules from a specific section of the .htaccess file. This section is always before the redirecting code.<\/p>\n

For example the WordPress rules are in the following .htaccess file sector:<\/p>\n

# BEGIN WordPress\n<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>\nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteBase \/\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\nRewriteRule . \/index.php [L]\n<\/IfModule>\n# END WordPress<\/pre>\n
In case redirect fails, move the rules to the beginning of the WordPress section, after the RewriteEngine On<\/strong> line, for example:<\/p>\n
# BEGIN WordPress\n<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>\nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sh\\-mywordpress\\.com$ [OR]\nRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.sh\\-mywordpress\\.com$\nRewriteRule ^dir$ \"http\\:\\\/\\\/targetdomain\\.com\\\/\" [R=301,L]\nRewriteBase \/\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\nRewriteRule . \/index.php [L]\n<\/IfModule>\n# END WordPress<\/pre>\n
\n\n\n\n
\"info-icon\"<\/td>\nImportant<\/strong>: Always make a\u00a0backup copy before editing the .htaccess file. Also, if there are content irregularities in the .htaccess file, the website might stop loading and you can get an\u00a0Error 500 message.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>Current Redirects<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
In this section you might check all available redirects.<\/p>\n
\"Active<\/p>\n
Editing of the redirects is not supported. To modify a redirect, you must delete it, and then recreate it.<\/p>\n
You can search the redirects by domain, URL, etc.<\/p>\n
To check if a redirect works properly, click on the respective link in the Directory column.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
