Manage (Setup) Addon Domain Redirection

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

What is Addon Domain redirection?

You can set any of your Addon Domains to point to a different location on your web site or server. For example, if we want www.cpx3demo.com to point to our sales page, we can setup a Addon Domain 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 an Addon Domain, view the "Addon Domains" table as described in Step 6 of the Addon Domains document.

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

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

4. The Addon Domain 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 Addon Domain to be redirected to when visitors go to the Addon Domain 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_ADDON_DOMAIN is currently being redirect to: THE_LOCATION_YOU_ENTERED."

7. Click on the "Go Back" button.

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

Disable Addon Domain

1. Assuming you have created an Addon Domain, view the "Addon Domains" table as described in Step 6 of the Addon Domains document.

2. Find the Addon Domain 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 Addon Domain 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_ADDON_DOMAIN!"

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