# Redirects

Create 301 and 302 URL redirects for your Hostinger website in hPanel or via .htaccess, including wildcard, domain, HTTPS, and www redirect examples.

Send visitors from one URL to another when you move content or restructure URLs.

## Create a redirect in hPanel

1. Open your website dashboard.
2. Go to **Domains** → **Redirects** in the sidebar.
3. Fill in:
   * **Source URL** — URL to redirect from (e.g., `/old-page`)
   * **Destination URL** — target URL
   * **Redirect type** — 301 or 302
4. Click **Save**.

## Redirect types

| Type          | Code | Use when                                                     |
| ------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Permanent** | 301  | URL has moved for good. Search engines transfer link equity. |
| **Temporary** | 302  | Short-term redirect; the original may come back.             |

Use 301 for most cases — site restructures, domain migrations.

## Via `.htaccess`

### Simple redirect

```apacheconf
Redirect 301 /old-page https://yourdomain.com/new-page
```

### Wildcard redirect

Redirect all `/blog/*` to `/articles/*`:

```apacheconf
RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/(.*)$ /articles/$1
```

### Entire domain

```apacheconf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```

### HTTP to HTTPS

```apacheconf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
```

### `www` to non-`www`

```apacheconf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
```

## Manage redirects

Redirects created in hPanel are listed in the **Redirects** panel — click to edit, or **Delete** to remove. `.htaccess` redirects are managed by editing the file.
