How to Create Domain Redirects

Domain Redirects will allow you to send visitors on your domain or a specific page to a different URL. For example, if you have a news section which is accessible via http://www.example.com/categories/news/news-today you will be able to create a redirect http://example.com/news-today that will lead to the same URL and be easier to type by your website's users.

To create a new Redirect, you will first need to login to your Client Area and access the Product → My Products page.

From there, navigate to View Details → View Details for the hosting plan on which the domain is situated.

Now find the Domain Redirects module from the list of options.

You will have to configure the redirect:

• Type - Choose between a Permanent (301) and Temporary (302) type of redirect. The Permanent one will update the visitor's browser records
• http://www - Here you will select the domain you wish to redirect. After the / you can add a subfolder from your website
• Redirect To - The URL to which the user will be redirected
• www Redirection - Here you can choose whether or not to redirect users when they type www as trying to access the domain.
• Wild Card Redirect - If you check this box, you will have all files URL will be redirected to the new location (ex. Anyone who tries to access example.net/article1.jpg will be redirected and open example.com/article1.jpg)

When you are ready, click on the Add button and the redirect will be created.

Congratulations, now you can create custom redirects for your domain and its content.
