Articles on: Web Hosting

Redirects are useful if you want to send a user to a specific website or part of a website. You could also use this to redirect the user to a discord server!

Let’s learn how to set up a redirect on cPanel.

How to add redirects on cPanel

• Login to the cPanel dashboard. You are able to log in using the button on the web hosting package.

• Once logged in, Head down over to the “Domains” category and select “Redirects”.

• A form will open. Fill out the following info that is required:

• Type - This can be a Permanent (301) redirect or a Temporary (302) redirect

• https?://(www.)? - This is the domain that is going to be used for the domain. You will also need to select where the start of the redirect is. For example /twitter

• Redirects to - This is the website / domain that the redirect is going to send the user to

• www. Redirection - This is the option that if enabled, it will also apply the redirect on domains which start with www. For example www.sparked-media.com/twitter

• Wild Card Redirect - This will redirect all files within a directory to the same filename in the redirected directory

In this example, We will redirect

sparked-media.com

to our twitter page.

Once all of the information has been filled out, click “Add”.

Now the redirect works. If you access

sparked-media.com/twitter

You will be sent to the twitter page.
