Use this tool to automatically generate a .htaccess file with your desired configuration.

.htaccess Overview

The Apache module mod_rewrite allows you to rewrite URL requests that come into your server and is based on a regular-expression parser. The examples presented here show how to:

• Direct requests for one subdirectory to a different subdirectory or the primary directory (document root). http://example.com/folder1/ becomes http://example.com/folder2/ or just http://example.com/;
• Direct requests to a subdirectory. http://example.com/file.html becomes http://example.com/folder1/file.html;
• Add www to every request. http://example.com becomes http://www.example.com. Or, convert http:// to https://;

When implemented correctly, mod_rewrite is very powerful. There are many other applications for mod_rewrite that you can learn about at apache.org. Please reference their website for other possible rewrite scenarios.

These examples are provided as a courtesy - .htaccess rewrites are designed per web development client contract (new builds) but as a rule, ReddWebDev does not design custom rewrite rules for individual web hosting customer accounts.
