If the url shows only domain name and if you want to redirect your domain name to sub-directory<\/p>\n

For example :<\/p>\n

http:\/\/yourdomain.com redirect to http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/blog but the URL shows only http:\/\/yourdomain.com<\/p>\n

Then add the following rules in your .htaccess file.<\/p>\n

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c><\/strong>
\nRewriteEngine on<\/strong>
\nRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com<\/strong>
\nRewriteRule ^(.*)$ http:\/\/www.yourdomain.com\/$1 [R=301,L]<\/strong>
\nRewriteRule\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ^$\u00a0\u00a0 blog\/\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [L]<\/strong>
\nRewriteRule\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (.*)\u00a0 blog\/$1 [L]<\/strong>
\n<\/IfModule><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is easy but to perform this task you need to consider one of the\u00a0Ownwebservers web hosting plans<\/a>\u00a0and then edit or upload a .htaccess file from your file manager or SSH access on your cPanel hosting plan or a Linux Dedicated Server or the linux VPS hosting plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
