Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:14 pm

When creating a new website on HostGator, the first thing you will need to do is create a new account. Once you have created your account, you will need to login. Once you have logged in, you will be able to access your account settings.

Under the General tab, you will find the Redirections section. In this section, you will be able to set up redirects for your website.

To start, you will need to click on the Add New Redirect link. This will open the Add New Redirect window.

In this window, you will need to provide a name for your redirect, as well as a URL. The URL that you provide in this window will be the URL that will be used when a user clicks on the redirection.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to redirect your Hostgator account, please be aware that there may be significant consequences. For example, your website may become unavailable or you may lose data. Please backup your data and consult with Hostgator support before proceeding.

Next, you will need to provide the destination URL for the redirect. This will be the URL that will be used when a user clicks on the redirect.

Finally, you will need to provide the HTTP status code that will be used when the redirect is executed. This will be either 302 or 301.

Once you have completed this window, your redirect will be ready to use. To use the redirect, you will need to click on the Save button.

This will save the redirect and return you to the Redirections section of your account settings.

Now, when you create a new website on HostGator, you will be able to set up a redirect to take users to the correct URL.
