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

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

Wildcard redirect

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

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

Entire domain

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

HTTP to HTTPS

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

www to non-www

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.
