How to Configure a Website Redirect in cPanel

This guide provides the simple steps necessary to establish a permanent (301) or temporary (302) URL redirect. This feature ensures traffic automatically forwards from one web address to another.

Part 1: Accessing the Redirects Tool

1. Start by **logging in to your cPanel account** using your credentials.
2. Once inside the main cPanel dashboard, locate the **Domains** section and click on the **Redirects** link.

Part 2: Defining the Redirection Path

3. On the Redirects creation form, you must specify two addresses:
   1. Identify the **source URL** (the old or current address visitors are coming from).
   2. Identify the **destination URL** (the new address where visitors will be sent).
   Ensure you also select the appropriate redirect type, typically **Permanent (301)** for search engine optimization purposes.

Part 3: Finalizing the Rule

4. Once all fields are accurately filled, click on the **Add** button located at the bottom of the form to save and activate your new redirect rule immediately.
