#Force www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

The simple way to redirect your primary domain to a sub folder without change the URL
A) Redirect and keep everything after the URL
Show all of the same content on one URL as you would another.
Example, if you just changed your domain to DomainB.com, but you still have plenty of visitors coming to DomainA.com, you would use this to show them all of the existing content that is located on the new domain, without the need to update both websites.
You would modify your .htaccess file for the domain that your users will go to, and insert these lines of code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/$1 [P]
If you are using the file manager in cPanel, be sure that you have the option to show hidden files selected.
What does the above redirect do?
Adding this line into your .htaccess file, you will be able to go to DomainA.com/YourPage and it will show the content from DomainB.com/YourPage
B) Redirect a domain to a specific url
If you want visitors to go to DomainA.com with a specific page in mind when doing so, you may use this code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/PathToPageHere [P]
Example, you had an external blog such as one on blogspot.com or maybe a shopping cart on etsy.com that you want people to visit your domain without fully hosting the domain there. Now, visitors can access your site using your domain, but see the content of an external URL.
C) Re-directing an IP address
The following code shows how this can be done in the .htaccess file.
# Redirect all IP address (replace the ## with the IP address numerals) to same http://domain_name.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^##\.##\.##\.##
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain_name.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Stipulations / Please read
Note: If using the first option, search engines such as Google or Bing will see multiple sites with the same content and can cause ranking drops in one, or both of the sites. From an SEO standpoint, your best option is to create 301 redirects instead.
First Install CWP on your VPS or Dedicated server : Installation Process
Configuration of CentosWebPanel
– Setup nameservers (CWP *- > DNS Functions -*> Edit Nameservers IPs)
– Setup shared ip (CWP –> WebPanel Settings – -> WebPanel Settings)
– Setup at least one hosting package (CWP –> Accounts –> Add a Package)
– Setup root email (CWP –> WebPanel Settings – -> WebPanel Settings)
How to Setup NameServers?
You can setup your own nameserver but then you need to have at least two IPs or you can use FreeDNS:
You can use one of the Free DNS server providers like:
http://freedns.centos-webpanel.com/
http://freedns.afraid.org/
When you register on Free DNS providers site there you will get Nameservers that you can use for yours domains.
Nameservers you need to add in: CWP – > DNS Functions -> Edit Nameservers IPs
* This nameservers you enter here will be used in all configs and account setups
If you are using FreeDNS service than you will need to point yours domain to nameservers that you get on FreeDNS website.
On FreeDNS Website you need to point domain to your server IP address.
This changes will need up to 24 hours to be visible for you.

<Directory "/home/USERNAME/public_html"> AllowOverride All </Directory>
add this config beffore </VirtualHost> for your domain

Error Code :
1YjCse-0006Hn-2M == email@domainname.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (99): Cannot assign requested address
Resolution:
Make sure that your exim server is configured with correct mail IP address you can verify it with file located at /etc/mailips also make sure the permissions are correct
-rw-r—– 1 root mail 3652 Apr 18 06:51 /etc/mailips
The issue is because of the corrupted exim db files.
Go to /var/spool/exim/db and delete files: retry , retry.lockfile , wait-remote_smtp, wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
#cd /var/spool/exim/
#rm retry retry.lockfile wait-remote_smtp wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
After that restart the exim service.
#/etc/init.d/exim restart
