Configuring web page redirects in cPanel

A redirect automatically sends visitors from one web page to another. This is useful for:

• Shortening long URLs.

• Redirecting old pages to new ones.

• Moving traffic from non‑www to www versions (or vice versa).

• Redirecting entire directories at once.

Adding a Redirect

1. Log in to cPanel.

2. On the Tools page → Domains section, click Redirects.

3. Under Add Redirect:

   • Select the type:

     • Permanent (301) → tells browsers/search engines the page has moved permanently.

     • Temporary (302) → indicates a temporary move.

   • Select the domain.

   • Enter the web page you want to redirect.

   • In the Redirects to box, type the destination URL (can be on your site or another site).

4. Configure options:

   • www redirection → choose how to handle www versions.

   • Wild Card Redirect → redirects all files in a directory to the same filenames in the new directory.

5. Click Add → cPanel saves the redirect.

Removing a Redirect

1. Log in to cPanel → Redirects.

2. Under Current Redirects, locate the redirect.

3. Click Delete → confirm with Remove Redirect. Note: Redirects cannot be modified. If you need to change one, delete it and create a new redirect.
