How to Set up a Redirect on your Domain.
The steps to create a 301 Redirect depend on the control panel you are using. Below are the steps for cPanel, DirectAdmin, and SiteWorx:
1. cPanel
- Log in to cPanel.
- Navigate to Domains → Redirects.
- Under Type, select Permanent (301).
- Choose the domain from the https?://(www.)? dropdown.
- Enter the target URL in the Redirects to field.
- Select whether you want to redirect with or without www.
- Click Add to apply the redirect.
The redirect will be added automatically to your .htaccess file.
2. DirectAdmin
- Log in to DirectAdmin.
- Go to Account Manager → Site Redirection.
- Click Create New Redirect.
- In the Local URL Path field, enter / to redirect the whole domain or specify a subdirectory.
- In the Destination URL field, enter the target website.
- Choose Permanent (301) as the type.
- Click Create to save the redirect.
3. SiteWorx
- Log in to SiteWorx.
- Open the .htaccess file located in the public_html directory (or the specific domain’s root directory).
- Add the following redirect rule:
-
Redirect the entire domain to a new domain:
# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 301 / http://my-example.com/
- Click Save and exit.
