How to Do a Website Redirect With Bluehost

Once you log in to Bluehost, you may set web redirects from there without complications.

Bluehost allows you to easily change the behavior of sites by using its own integrated control panel so you don't have to touch any code that makes up the structure of your website. When you redirect a web address, a visitor gets a redirect notification on his browser and immediately goes to the new address which you defined in your Bluehost panel.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with an Internet connection

Instructions

1. Log in to Bluehost as you would normally do to access the website administration panel.

2. Click "Redirects" under the "Domains" section in the control panel.

3. Select "Permanent (301)" under "Type."

4. Select a web address you want to redirect from on the drop-down menu below the "Type" selection menu.

5. Select a web address you would like to redirect to under "redirect to". Click "Add" after you finish.

Tips & Warnings

• Type the old URL you redirect from in the address bar on your browser and press "Enter" to test the redirect. If you see the URL on the address bar change to the new one and you see a webpage, your redirect works correctly.
