Introduction

Redirects in cPanel allow you to automatically send visitors from one URL to another. This is commonly used when a website moves to a new domain, a page is deleted, or you want to consolidate traffic to a single URL. Properly configured redirects help maintain SEO rankings and ensure users do not land on broken pages.

In cPanel, redirects can be created easily using the built-in Redirects tool without needing manual coding.

Before setting up redirects in cPanel, ensure the following:

• You have valid login access to your cPanel account
• The domain or subdomain is already added in cPanel
• You know the source URL (old page/domain) and destination URL (new page/domain)
• Decide the redirect type:
  • 301 (Permanent Redirect) – Best for SEO when the move is permanent
  • 302 (Temporary Redirect) – Used for temporary changes\

IMPLEMENTATION

Step 01: Login to cPanel Account and click Redirects in the DOMAINS section of the cPanel home page.

Step 02: Select the redirection type whether temporary(302) or permanent (301) under the Type.

Step 03: Select the domain name and then type the web page that you want to redirect.

Step 04: Type the destination web page under the Redirects to. Keep the Redirect with or without www and click Add.
