I would like to redirect my website to another website (domain, location) How would I do that?
Redirecting your domain couldn’t be simpler. You can do it two ways. We will explain both methods here.
Method One:
The number one method is what you would do at your registrar. You would login to your registrar account and forward your domain to a new location (website). Please beware that not all registrars support domain forwarding.
Method Two:
The second is what is known as a “Header Forward” is a simple PHP file called index.php in your main /public_html/ directory. Please see the code below for it:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>
How to get the file in place:
- Open notepad copy the above code
- Replace “http://www.example.com/” with your domain
- Save the file as index.php
- Upload the file using your FTP Software to the /public_html/ directory.
- Visit your site and it will take you to the site you are redirecting to.
