# How to Manage URL Redirects in DirectAdmin

A site redirection will redirect URLs from one folder to another folder/domain. For example, redirect 'https://domain.com/test1' to 'https://domain.com/test2'.

## **To create a new redirect in DirectAdmin:**

1. [Log in to your DirectAdmin](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-log-into-the-directadmin-control-panel/) control panel by accessing https://yourdomain:2222
2. Navigate to **Site Redirects**
3. Click on the **Create New Redirect** button
4. Enter:
    – **Local URL Path** – this is the path that will be redirected. It can be a file or directory.
    – **Redirect Type** – you have three options here: *301 Permanent, 302 Temporary, and 303 Replaced.*
    – **Destination URL** – the new/destination URL.
5. Click on the **Create** button
6. Test the new redirect in your web browser to check if it works as intended.

This DirectAdmin tool will modify the [*.htaccess* file](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html) in your public_html directory. If you want to configure the redirect manually, you can edit this file in the DirectAdmin file manager (Files).
