How to create redirects in cPanel

In cPanel, open Redirects under the Domains section. Choose a permanent 301 redirect for long-term moves or a temporary 302 redirect for short-term changes. Select the domain, enter the source path if needed, then type the full destination URL including https://. You can redirect with or without www depending on your preference. Save the redirect and test it in a private browser window. Redirects are useful after page renames, domain changes, or moving an old website into a new structure. Avoid redirect loops where URL A sends back to URL B repeatedly.
