Redirects

Redirects

The Redirects section lets you create 301 permanent redirects from your old URLs to your new ones. This is to be used in specific cases when you want to redirect a specific URL to a new URL. You may want to do this for 2 reasons:

- when you move your current website on ExploreMyPC and need to create redirects from old URLs to new URLs


- when you decide to change the URL of one page, but already shared the old URL on social media websites or other places on the web.

How to create a redirect

Step 1. Open the Redirects section in the Settings window

Step 2. Write your redirect rules like this

Put every redirect on a new line /old-URL [SPACE] /new-URL, here is an example for 3 different random redirects


/home /
/shop /new-shop
/about-us /team

Let's take /about-us /team rule. This means that yourdomain.com/about-us will be redirected to yourdomain.com/team.

Step 3. Press the Save Changes button to save your changes.

Keep in mind

1. If you move your website from your current hosting to ExploreMyPC, you don't need to create redirects if you'll recreate the same URLs in ExploreMyPC.

2. The redirects you are creating are 301 permanent redirects, that means all the SEO juice from the old pages will be transferred to the new URL.
