Redirecting a domain name means pointing one URL<\/b> to another. The process entails forwarding users who try to load one URL to another of your choice. You can do this in several ways<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redirect Domains Using .htaccess<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Redirect<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Log in to your <\/span>web hosting control pane<\/b><\/a>l and open the<\/span> File Manager.<\/b> Select your .htaccess file and open it for editing. For domain name redirection, the most typical method is to use a <\/span>301 Permanent Redirect<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the following code to your .htaccess file:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redirect 301 \/ http:\/\/domainB.com\/<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have an<\/span> existing .htaccess file,<\/b> create a blank file using the File Editor and enter the code above. Save it with the filename .htaccess in the document root of your website (usually, the public_html folder). You can also create the file on your local computer with a plain text editor like Notepad<\/strong> and upload it to the server via FTP or the File Manager<\/span>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting Up a Redirect via SPanel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s also possible to create a redirect via SPanel – ScalaHosting’s proprietary VPS management platform. To do it, log into SPanel’s User Interface and click the Redirects<\/strong> button under the Domains<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n
