Manage (Setup) Subdomain Redirection

You can easily manage (setup) subdomain redirection using the cPanel interface.

What is subdomain redirection?

You can set any of your subdomains to point to a different location on your web site or server. For example, if we want support.cpx3demo.com to point to our sales page, we can setup a subdomain redirection and have it point to www.cpx3demo.com/sales.html or any url that's specific to our needs.

Managing Subdomain Redirection

1. Assuming you have created a subdomain, view the "Subdomains" table as described in Step 5 of the Subdomains document.

2. Find the subdomain you want to manage (setup) a redirection for in the table.

3. Click on the "Manage Redirection" link in the Actions column.

4. The subdomain you are using will be listed. You will see "http://" entered by default in the text box. Enter the domain or location you want the subdomain to be redirected to when visitors go to the subdomain you are using.

Note: You do not have to include the "http://" in your redirection url.

5. Click on the "Save" button.

6. The next page will state "YOUR_SUBDOMAIN is currently being redirect to: THE_LOCATION_YOU_ENTERED."

7. Click on the "Go Back" button.

8. When the page loads, find the subdomain you are using and you should see "redirected to THE_LOCATION_YOU_ENTERED" displayed in the "Redirection" column.

Disable Subdomain

1. Assuming you have created a subdomain, view the "Subdomains" table as described in Step 6 of the Subdomains document.

2. Find the Subdomain you want to manage (setup) a redirection for in the table.

3. Click on the "Manage Redirection" link in the Actions column.

4. The redirect you previously created the Subdomain should be entered by default in the text box. Click on the "Disable Redirection" button.

5. The next screen will state "Redirection has been disabled on "YOUR_SUBDOMAIN!"

6. Click on the "Go Back" link to view details on your SubDomain.
