Redirect Multiple Domains to the Same Website with cPanel and WHM
Redirect Multiple Domains to the Same Website with cPanel and WHM
Fasthosts: Free .uk with Business Hosting: http://robcubbon.com/go/fasthosts
Vidahost: http://robcubbon.com/go/vidahost
Change NameServers and the domain name registrar — in this case Fasthosts in the UK. http://robcubbon.com/go/fasthosts
You will receive the NameServers from your host when you sign up. In this case I’m using Vidahost in the UK http://robcubbon.com/go/vidahost their NameServers are:
ns1 dot vidahost dot com
ns2 dot vidahost dot com
ns3 dot vidahost dot com
All NameServers look like this.
Then you go into WebHost Manager to create the account for your new site. So you enter the domain name and make up a username and password.
That’s it — setup WordPress and start creating a new site!
Next to redirect other sites to it. I give 2 options:
1. Create a new site in the same way and redirect it to the target site.
2. Add a Parked Domain in the cPanel of the target site.
Happy webmastering!
Is there a way to make it so that the alias uses the same /public_html directory? Basically, I’m looking to get it so that a.com and b.com use the same directory. But if you go to a.com, it will say a.com on the address bar, and if you go to b.com it will say b.com in the address bar, yet both going to the same site.
nice
Thanks Rob, but I am still wondering, is it safe for our google ‘friendly’ strategy? More over if we direct some multiple domains to single domain from adwords campaign?
Thanks for the video good simple explanation 🙂
Redirecting domains using web host is dumb
This video helped me a lot for configure my Cpanel server that i rented from http://www.datasoft.ws
Please upload more videos.
Thanks, Rob. Now that I know it’s possible, I’ll dig into it. Your videos are great – and thanks for your help. All the best,
Gary
Setting up domains, websites and redirects through cPanel and WHM.Â
It’s created in ScreenFlow rather than iMovie and my ScreenFlow skills are improving!

Great topic for a video Robb. Very helpful. Thanks.
Rob, is it possible to direct various domains to different pages within the same website?
Thank you Rob, for this very helpful video. I have just purchased a .com domain and forwarded it to my co.uk domain. I have also purchased a domain privacy for .com domain. Do I need to submit .com domain to search engine ? I received email from Identity protection Service and requested me to submit this new domain to search engine…..
Hi Rob, I had a question regarding whether or not this would effect site ranking in google? I purchased the .net , .org , etc. for my site and I want to point them back to the mysite.com. Is it better to redirect it where it will keep the .net version in the url bar or simply to a redirect to the .com? You can also do this from the domain control panel, such as Godaddy. Which way will not negatively effect the SEO on your primary (.com version)? P.S. Good video too 🙂
Thanks, Rob. You don’t happen to show how to do that in one of your videos, do you?
Yes, Gary. One way of doing that would be to put an .htaccess file in the root of the domain and Google 301 redirects to find what you should put in the file.
Assuming that all the domains are equal, ie. just purchased, then it doesn’t make any difference to SEO or ranking. You only do this to make sure no one else purchases these domains or if someone types in one of the other domains.
Make the .com the primary domain.
Thank you, Ileane 🙂
Hello I am looking to buy some old domain names for my exciting website, I don’t have a  page rank yet on my site. When I add a old domain name  say for example with a PR 4 will the original url show up as a PR 4 also.
Hi Rob,That was a clear explanation.
Is it also possible to redirect to a subfolder using cpanel ?
For example from www. domain.com to http://www.domain2.de/nl/
Looking forward to your response.
Hi there. Is this type of re directing the same as 301 redirect I hear people mention?
Not really Gary. You need a text editor and an FTP program – and be careful not to save a text file called .htaccess to your computer or it’ll disappear 🙂
In it it should say something like "301 redirect…" and then from where to where – I can’t show you properly because YouTube won’t let us post links in the comments. There’ll be loads of stuff on it if you Google it. If you’re having a problem just send me an email with what you want to do.
