Redirecting a domain and pages
How to set up a permanent or temporary redirect to another address in cPanel.
A redirect sends visitors from one address to another, e.g. from an old domain to a new one or from www to the version without www.
Redirects in cPanel#
- In cPanel, in the Domains section, open Redirects.
- In the Type field choose Permanent (301) if the change is permanent, or Temporary (302) if it is temporary.
- Choose the domain you redirect from and enter the path (empty for the whole domain).
- In Redirects to enter the full destination address, e.g.
https://newdomain.com. - Choose whether to redirect with or without
www, and optionally Wild Card Redirect (forwards subpages too). - Click Add.
You can remove a redirect at the bottom of the same page, in the Current Redirects list.
Which type to use#
- 301 (permanent): domain change, page address change. Search engines carry the value over to the new address.
- 302 (temporary): maintenance or a short-term campaign.
