An add-on domain allows you to host distinct websites on a single hosting account. This makes it a popular choice for hosting unique content such as blogs, e-shops, forums, and so on. However, if you already have an existing page, you may need to set up a redirection to your add-on domain.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to set up an add-on domain redirection on the GreenGeeks Dashboard and in cPanel.

## Method 1: GreenGeeks Dashboard

### Enable an Addon Domain Redirect in the GreenGeeks Dashboard

Start by [logging into your GreenGeeks account](https://www.greengeeks.com/support/article/how-to-log-into-the-account-manager/)
. Locate the domain that you want to set up the redirect on and click on the **Manage** button next to it.

On the left-hand admin panel, click on Domains and select the Redirects option.

You are now in the Redirects section.

The first section lets you configure a redirect. By default, the type of redirection is 301, which is the correct option for add-on redirects.

Start by selecting the add-on domain you want to redirect.

Enter the URL that you want the add-on domain to redirect to.

Click on the **Add Redirect** button to finish.

The redirection you created will now be added to the list below this. Make sure to check that it is working.

### Disable an Addon Domain Redirect in the GreenGeeks Dashboard

To delete the redirection, locate the redirection in the redirection list and click on the **Delete** button next to it.

A small window will appear asking if you are sure you want to remove the redirection. Click on the **Remove Redirect** button to finish.

This will permanently delete the redirection.

## Method 2: cPanel

### Enable an Addon Domain Redirect in cPanel

Start by [logging in to GreenGeeks](https://my.greengeeks.com/)
 and [accessing your cPanel](https://www.greengeeks.com/support/article/how-to-use-quick-login-to-access-your-hosting-services/)
.

Once inside the cPanel, locate the **Domains** section and click on the **Redirects** option.

Here, you can create any kind of redirect for your website. The Type of redirect is 301 by default, which is perfect for an add-on redirect, so no change is necessary.

Below this, select the add-on domain you wish to redirect.

Enter the redirection location in the **Redirects to** box.

Double-check the information you have entered. Click on the **Add**button to finish.

The redirection will now be active. Be sure to make sure it is working correctly.

### Disable an Addon Domain Redirect

If you want to remove this redirection, simply click on the Delete option next to the redirection.

This will bring you to a confirmation page. Click on the **Remove Redirect** button to finish.

This will permanently delete the redirection.
