A forwarded website can be accomplished by first creating a subdomain<\/a> or addon domain<\/a> in the control panel<\/a>, then using an .htaccess<\/a> in document root<\/a>\u00a0to redirect all traffic to the new web site using mod_rewrite<\/a>.<\/p>\n Add the following lines to your .htaccess file in the document root of the forwarded domain (or subdomain) that you would like to redirect. Once a user accesses the website, the browser location will change to reflect the target domain.<\/p>\n A proxied forward will attempt to keep the original domain in the Location bar of the browser and impersonate the target site as if it were hosted under the forwarded domain. There are several limitations<\/strong> to this approach that are only resolvable by manipulating the stream as it comes over the wire, which is also beyond the scope of this\u00a0article but accomplished with reverse proxy middleware as is used in apnscp to redirect<\/a> cp.apnscp.com to each platform’s control panel.<\/p>\n A proxied forward will leak the\u00a0target domain’s location if the target domain uses absolute URLs or sends a “Location:” header as if forwarding in one of the two above examples.<\/p>\n Each redirect in the aforementioned examples uses “301”. There are 4 types of redirects to familiarize yourself with, each code is pragmatic in that it instructs the browser or search engine how to handle the response:<\/p>\n Credit: Bob Aman<\/a>, StackOverflow<\/em><\/p>\n Overview A forwarded website can be accomplished by first creating a subdomain or addon domain in the control panel, then using an .htaccess in document root\u00a0to redirect all traffic to the new web site using mod_rewrite.
