Typical 301 redirect

Go to cPanel and click Redirects. This is also known as 301 redirect.

Search engines, like Google, prefer 301 (permanent) redirects. Don't worry, the redirect can be changed and erased.

The 302 (temporary) redirects are less favored, but behave no differently than 301.

Warning

Trying to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com will give you a Continuous Loop Error.

To force the www, you need to use Apache Mod Rewrite, not a 301 redirect.


Masked Forward & HTML Forward

Visit this site to create either.

Note: You can accomplish something similar to a masked forward in cPanel. This is known as a Parked domain, and will show the parked domain name in a browser address bar, while showing your primary domain's web site.


Advanced Tips

How do I redirect my website to another ip, but still keep my email here?

How do I redirect my subdomains to another site at the DNS level?
This is done with a CNAME record. This record controls each subdomain name like www and mail.domain.com.

How do I redirect my emails to another server?
You must customize your MX record. This record controls to which host your emails will be delivered.
