how to redirect subdomain to root domain?

thashytt · Jun 30, 2016

Hello,

So i recently purchased an expired domain and many of its links are pointed to a subdomain. I cant seem to figure out how to 301 redirect through .htaccess - anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

For example this is my goal:

subdomain.domain.com/post1 -->>> domain.com/post1
subdomain.domain.com/post2 -->>> domain.com/post2

and so forth.

Do i need to set back up the subdomain in DNS before i try to 301 through htaccess?

I haven't tested it, but this .htaccess code should do the trick:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You could manage the dns instead of playing with htaccess.
