Redirecting your home page
Updated on 3 November 2026
When you enter a domain name (http://your\_domain.tld) in your browser's address bar, you usually reach the index page of the site in question - index.html. But if you want to reach a page other than index.html, you must apply a redirection (called a URL redirect) to your site. You can do this through cPanel.
- In cPanel, click the 'Redirects' icon under the 'Domains' heading.
- Choose whether you want to make this change temporarily or not.
- Choose the domain or subdomain if you have more than one.
- Enter the link of the main page you now want to display.
- Leave the default selection for 'Redirect with or without www'.
- Tick the 'Wild Card Redirect' box if you want to redirect several pages.
- Click the Add button to add the redirect.
