Overview<\/h2>\n

This document will explain how to create a .htaccess<\/strong> file to redirect your site or site content. This will not redirect any emails for your domains.<\/p>\n

CAUTION:<\/strong> As a configuration file, .htaccess is very powerful.Even the slightest syntax error (like a missing space) can result in your content not displaying correctly or at all.Since .htaccess is a hidden system file, please make sure your FTP
\nclient is configured to show hidden files.
\nThis is usually an option in the program’s preferences\/options.<\/div>\n

Instructions<\/h2>\n

Create an empty text file using a text editor such as notepad, and save it as htaccess.txt.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
NOTE:<\/strong> The reason you should save the file as htaccess.\r\ntxt is because many operating systems and FTP applications are\r\nunable to read or view .htaccess files by default.\r\nOnce uploaded to the server you can rename the file to .htaccess.<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
Edit the contents of the file. Check the following examples:<\/p>\n
Point an entire site to a different URL, such as domain.net redirected to domain.com:<\/p>\n
\n
# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain \u00a0 Redirect 301 \/ http:\/\/example.com\/<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Redirect index.html to a specific subfolder:<\/p>\n
\n
# This allows you to redirect index.html to a specific subfolder \u00a0 Redirect \/index.html http:\/\/example.com\/newdirectory\/<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Redirect an old file to a new file path:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
# Redirect old file path to new file path \u00a0 Redirect \/olddirectory\/oldfile.html http:\/\/example.com\/newdirectory\/newfile.html<\/code><\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
Redirect to a specific index page:<\/p>\n
\n
# Provide Specific Index Page (Set the default handler) \u00a0 DirectoryIndex index.html<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\n
