General Information
Mod_Rewrite is available on our Linux/cPanel servers and can be used to rewrite or redirect your site to a particular URL.
- The Apache Module "Mod_Rewrite" is also enabled on our LiteSpeed servers, and is very similar to "ISAPI_Rewrite", which is the (Windows) IIS Module alternative.
- For more information on Mod_Rewrite please see our URL Rewrite Wiki.
- For more information on ISAPI_Rewrite please see our ISAPI Rewrite Wiki.
IMPORTANT: Place the rewrite rules in a file named .htaccess and place it in the website's Default Directory(i.e. the \wwwroot folder).
- If you do not have an .htaccess file already created you can:
- Open a text editor--like Notepad--and save the file as ".htaccess".
- Use the File Manager in the hosting control panel to create a .htaccess file on the server.
Redirecting to a Subfolder
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ testdirectory [L]
HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
