cPanel User Manual 

Adding Redirects  

Overview 

Redirects allow you to make a specific web page redirect to another page and 

display the contents of that page. This way you can make a page with a long 

URL accessible by a page which has a shorter and easier to remember URL. 

For example: Since 

http://www.domain.com/folder1/foldera/longfilename_with_underscores.html is 

hard to remember, you can make http://www.domain.com/filename.html redirect 

to the other URL. This way users do not have to remember the longer url or 

search through your web site to get to the page they wish to access.
