You can use these codes to redirect your URLs/domains if wanted

Redirect and keep everything after the URL

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/$1 [P]
Redirect a domain to a specific url

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/PathToPageHere [P]

Re-directing an IP address

Code:
# Redirect all IP address (replace the ## with the IP address numerals) to same http://domain_name.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^##\.##\.##\.##
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain_name.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Hope it helps!

Hi Mihai,

This can be done in a couple of ways:

cPanel Method:

Domains > Redirects > Select your domain and enter the new URL in the ' Redirects To ' box > select redirection options > click Add


.htaccess method

Create a file in your document root called .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Entire Site to New Domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Change olddomain.com to your old domain name and newdomain.com to your new domain name. This will redirect requests for the www. and non www. to your new domain.

Give a try with below code.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Welcome</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
   window.location="https://forumweb.hosting";
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

This will not change URL in address bar. but it will goes to domain configured at window.location

This way is good but not convenient if the user don't know about codes on their web system, where to put.
Also it seems works on a single URL, if we want for whole ULRs on a site then it can need httacces to solve this problem.
