How to Set Up a Redirect
Step One
In your WePanel, go to Domains and select the Redirects panel.
Here, you can configure the redirection settings.
Step Two
Choose the type of redirect you want to set up:
- Permanent (301): Used for permanently moved pages. Search engines will update their index to the new URL.
- Temporary (302): Used for temporary page moves. Search engines will continue to index the original URL.
Step Three
Select the domain for which you want to set up the redirect. If necessary, specify a path within the domain.
Step Four
Determine how the redirect should handle “www” in the URL:
- Redirect only with www: Redirects only URLs containing “www.”
- Redirect with and without www: Redirects all URLs, regardless of “www” inclusion.
- Do not redirect with www: No redirect will occur if the URL includes “www.”
- Perform wildcard redirect: Redirects all subpages of the source domain to corresponding subpages of the target domain e.g. source.com/page1 will redirect to target.com/page1.
Step Five
Specify the full URL where you want to redirect traffic. For instance: https://anydomain.com.
Step Six
Click Add to finalize and apply the redirect.
