Redirect Visitors by Country for specific URLs?

Mihai B. · Sep 22, 2018

Hey guys,
I have a website and it has 2 separated sections, one for US visitors and one for CA visitors, I want to create a redirection like this
US visitors visit homepage (example.com) -> no redirect
CA visitors visit homepage (example.com) -> will be redirected to example.com/blog/

How can I set this with my web hosting, htaccess, PHP script or something else to do the job?

You can use PHP GeoIP module in your application to decide the redirection. There is htacces trick as well like THIS. But usually I prefer this kind of Geo redirect managed in application code to have better control and logging.

I read to this line

If you want to redirect based on the country using mod_rewrite in combination with mod_geoip, your .htaccess file could look like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(NL|BE)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/nl/$1 [L]

What to replace for ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE? where to get this?

What is NL|BE in line above?

What do you mean? It will be a custom code in the web system that we should using?
