Redirects

The Redirect button is extremely useful when updating sites and forwarding to other domains. For example, if you owned an online shop at www.myshop.com you may want to register the domain myshop.co.uk to prevent customers who accidently typed the wrong URL in from missing your online shop.

Log in to your cPanel account for the domain myshop.co.uk and click on the Redirects icon (as shown above).  Type the sub-address from which you wish to redirect (if you’re wanting to redirect from just the domain name leave this blank), then type in the domain you wish to redirect to. Choose whether this is a temporary or permanent redirect and click ‘Add Redirect’. Now, in this example, customers who visit the domain www.myshop.co.uk will be automatically redirected to the domain www.myshop.com.
