301 redirect via .htaccess file

Setting up a 301 redirect via .htaccess file can be done as follows:

First, check if hidden file preview is turned on (.htaccess is a hidden file, like any file that has . at the beginning of its name):

Log in to cPanel
Open the File Manager application
Click on the Settings option in the upper right corner of the screen
In the window that opens, check the option Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)

Then insert the following line into the existing .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 / https://address-to-redirect-to.com/

Note:

Instead of "address-to-redirect-to.com" type the address you want the domain to redirect to.
If there is no .htaccess file on your hosting, you need to create it
