How to redirect a page to another page or website using .htaccess?

If a page on your website no longer exists, you can use the .htaccess file to redirect visitors to a new page or another website.

Redirect a specific page to another domain

Change the example page and domain to match the destination you want to use:

RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /mypage.html https://example.com

Redirect an old page to a new page

Use the following format when both pages are on the same website:

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html /newpage.html

Check the redirect

• Back up the existing .htaccess file before editing it.
• Use a permanent 301 redirect only when the move is intended to be permanent.
• Open the old URL after saving the file to confirm that it reaches the correct destination.
