Redirects are very useful for site owners moving from folder to folder, or updating their site. These can be used to direct users to a new section of the site or to a new domain name all together. Webmasters can also set these up for other users to use as short URLs.

As seen from above, simply enter in the location that should be redirected and the new URL to direct visitors to. Users have the option of making it a temporary redirect, or a permanent redirect.

Temporary: Setting a redirect to temporary will tell the Internet traffic agents (browsers, search engines, ect.) that this is only a temporary redirect and to return to this URL in the future.

Permanent: Permanent redirects will tell the Internet traffic agents (browsers, search engines, ect.) that it is a permanent redirect and when requesting this URL to forward automatically to the new address.

Users also have the option of removing redirects from this section also. Simple select the redirect to delete and hit remove. This will remove the redirect information from the .htaccess file.
