Redirecting a page to another page or domain?

cPanel Redirects

The Redirects area in your cPanel control panel allows you to redirect Internet traffic from one web page to another. This is usually used when a web page has been moved to another location.

To set up a redirect:

• Open the control panel. The username and password were sent in your setup email.
• Click on the Redirects link in the Advanced Menu area.
• Enter the address of the web page to move in the first field.
• Enter the redirection address in the second field.
• Choose one of the following options in the drop-down list:
• Temporary - This tells Internet traffic agents (browsers, search engines, etc.) that this is only a temporary redirection, and that they should return to this initial location again in the future for the same page.
• Permanent - This tells the Internet traffic agents to go to the redirection address in the future, as the old address will never be used again.
• Click on the button.

That's it! Test your redirect in your web browser, and you should be successful.

Redirecting a visitor using PHP

This is useful if your page is already written in PHP code. Create and upload a your PHP file with following code instead of your page:

<? header("Location: http://www.DOMAINNAME1.com"); ?>

Replace the http://www.DOMAINNAME1.com with the domain name and page you would like to redirect to.

To create a second domain name that points to your original site, you need to setup second domain name and hosting account. Contact us for a special package for redirects, Use the methods above and both domain names will point to the one website.
