How to add a redirect where the original domain appears in the browser’s address bar

[samami]

I need to redirect a domain, e.g. fromdomain.com, to a destination domain, e.g. todomain.com, with the original domain's URL ,e.g.

http://fromdomain.com

appearing in the browser’s address bar.

Quoted from cPanel & WHM Documentation > cPanel >Domains > Redirects:

<<
Note:
To add a redirect where the original domain appears in the browser’s address bar, create a subdomain and redirect it to your chosen domain. You can create a subdomain in cPanel’s Domains interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Domains).
>>

Please, can someone help me in understanding that statement, and in solving my problem? Can I solve my problem via cPanel without direct editing of .htaccess ?

Thanks

Hey there! In my experience, this will require direct editing of the .htaccess file as the cPanel tools don't allow these more advanced redirects. We just can't allow for every possible coding option within the interface.

I believe you'll want something similar to this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [P]

but there is more discussion on that here: Redirect website but keep the original url in the address bar

Thank you for this indication.

Just to understand, what about the quoted statement

To add a redirect where the original domain appears in the browser’s address bar, create a subdomain and redirect it to your chosen domain.

? It is not there for an oversight, it is an explicit Note!

I can't say for sure, as this isn't specifically related to the cPanel tools.
