Redirects send visitors (and search engines) from one address to another — for example, from an old page to its replacement, or from a second domain to your main site.
Add a redirect
- Log in to cPanel and open Domains → Redirects.
- Choose the type: Permanent (301) for moves that won’t change back, or Temporary (302) for short-term changes.
- Choose the domain, and in the box after it enter the path to redirect (leave it empty to redirect the whole domain).
- Enter the full address to Redirect to, including https://.
- Choose www. redirection — usually Redirect with or without www.
- Click Add.
Tip: Use a 301 when you’ve moved a page for good. It tells search engines to transfer the old page’s ranking to the new one.
Remove a redirect
Find it under Current Redirects on the same page and click Delete.
