How to Redirect a Domain in cPanel

There may be times that you need to redirect traffic from one domain to another. For example, you may need to route all traffic from example.com to example.net. You can also redirect specific pages, such as example.com/info.html to example.net/anotherPage.html. This can easily be accomplished in your cPanel. Alternately, you can edit your .htaccess file directly if you want to custom-code the redirect rules.

Redirect Domain

1. Log into your cPanel.
2. Click the Redirects link in the Domains section.
3. In the Type section choose if you want to create a Permanent (301) or Temporary (302) redirect. Generally, any redirects will be Permanent (which is the default).
4. In the next drop-down choose the domain you want to forward.
5. If you want to redirect a specific file (such as info.html) enter it in the blank forward slash '/' field.
6. In the Redirects to box enter the domain you want the traffic redirected to.
7. In the "www. redirection" section choose how you want to handle 'www' redirects. The www redirection option allows you to configure how to handle redirects in regard to the www subdomain. For example, you can only apply the redirect when www is included (or when it is not), or you can apply the redirect regardless of whether the user types in www or not. We also have a full guide on Redirecting Your Domain to www or non-www URL.
8. Choose if you want to do a Wild Card redirect. If you plan on redirecting all pages within example.com to example.net, then choose the option for a Wild Card Redirect. For example, selecting this option would redirect domain.com/page.html to NewDomain.com/page.html. Notice that everything after domain.com/ (in this example "page.html" ) was added after NewDomain.com/.
9. Once you are done, click on "Add":
