Using the Redirects Interface in cPanel

cPanel - Domains - Redirects

Setting up a 301 Domain Name or Website Redirect with cPanel

Creating a redirect for your Website in cPanel is fairly easy

First log in to your cPanel

Next, navigate to the Domains section and click on Redirects option:

Choose the type of redirect you would like to use for your domain

Permanent (301) - this redirect will update the visitors bookmarks and direct search engines to the new site

Temporary (302) - it will redirect the visitor or search engine, but will not update the bookmark and the search engine will continue to index to the original page

Choose the domain name you would like to redirect, from a drop-down menu:

If you want to redirect a single page or directory, you can use the text field following the drop-down menu and enter the name of the folder or file

Now Enter the full URL of the page your domain will be redirecting to in the "redirects to ->" field

Note: You need to enter the protocol as well, e.g. http://, https://

Next, Select if you want your domain to redirect with www. or not

"Only redirect with www." : the redirect will work if only visitors are using www. as a part of the URL

"Redirect with or without www." : the redirect will work regardless of using www. as a part of URL or not

"Do Not Redirect www." : the redirect will not work if visitors are using www. as a part of URL

Check-mark "Wild Card Redirect" if you would like all files in the current directory to be redirected to the same files names in the new directory.:

Example: if example.com redirects to example-test.com then:

with "Wild Card Redirect" - example.com/test/ redirects to example-test.com/test/

without "Wild Card Redirect" - example.com/test/ redirects to example-test.com

Click on the "Add" button in order to create the redirect

How to set up URL Frame in cPanel

The URL Frame Redirect is similar to URL redirect. The difference is the web page gets fetched and is displayed in a frame. The address bar of the browser will continue displaying your domain name
