How to Set Up a Domain Redirect in Webuzo

A redirect automatically sends visitors (and search engines) from one web address to another. You might redirect an old page to a new one, forward a spare domain to your main site, or push everyone to the www version of your URL.

Webuzo makes this easy without touching any code.

301 vs 302: which redirect should you use?

• 301 – Permanent: use this for moves that are here to stay. It passes SEO value to the new address, so it is the right choice most of the time.
• 302 – Temporary: use this only when the change is short-lived and you plan to bring the old URL back.

Create a redirect in Webuzo

1. Log in to your Webuzo Enduser Panel.
2. Open the Domains section and click Redirects.
3. Choose the domain to redirect from.
4. Enter the destination URL to redirect to.
5. Select the redirect type (301 for permanent) and click Add.

Prefer to redirect with code?

If you would rather manage redirects in your site’s .htaccess file, our cPanel-focused guides on redirecting HTTP to HTTPS and forcing SSL use rules that also work on Webuzo when Apache is your web server.

Frequently asked questions

Will a redirect hurt my SEO?

A correctly configured 301 redirect actually protects your SEO by passing ranking signals to the new URL. Avoid chains of multiple redirects where you can.

Can I redirect just one page instead of a whole domain?

Yes. Point the redirect at a specific path, or use an .htaccess rule for finer control on Apache.

My redirect is not working. What should I check?

Clear your browser cache and test in a private window — browsers cache 301s aggressively. Also confirm the source domain points to your server.
