URL redirect methods, forwarders

Go to cPanel and click Redirects. This is also known as 301 redirect.

Search engines, like Google, prefer 301 (permanent) redirects. Don't worry, the redirect can be changed and erased.

The 302 (temporary) redirects are less favored, but behave no differently than 301.

Trying to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com will give you a Continuous Loop Error.
To add the www, you need to use Apache Mod Rewrite, not a 301 redirect.

Note: You can accomplish a certain masked forward in cPanel. This is known as a Parked domain, and will show the parked domain name in a browser's address bar, while showing your primary domain's web site.
