Website redirect

[whynie]

HI

So i have a WHM installed with hostname cpanel.example.co.za where I have full control of this domain

Now I have created a user with cpanel, I created the domain test.co.za and I also have control of this domian. (Main domain)
I added another domain under this same users cpanel called stage.co.za

Now I would like to redirect www.stage.co.za to redirect to https://www.information.co.za/example.html (I dont own information.co.za)

Now when I set this up in cpanel. it keeps on re-directing to https://www.test.co.za
I have created a seperate AutoSSL cert for stage.co.za as well.

Did I do something wrong somewhere? Or do I have something wrong in my WHM config?

I know this can be done as my current hosting provider does this for me but i am in the process tomove everything to my own WHM/Cpanel server.

Hey there! Can you let me know what type of domain stage.co.za is? Is this a subdomain, addon, or alias? Knowing the type may help me get you pointed in the right direction.

Hi.
I added this as a normal domain, then added the redirect afterwards. I did notice that it added a domain alias by itself. Hope this helps?

What would be the best way to handle this?
Domain aliases?

Since you don't own the domain you are redirecting to, it would be best to create the domain as either a unique cPanel account or as an addon domain. either one of those would allow you to setup a redirect to the remote website through the .htaccess file.
