How to change my document root folder using an .htaccess file

By default, files of your primary website are loaded from public_html folder.

If you want to load website’s files from Sub Folder instead of public_html folder and do not want Sub Folder name to be appeared as a part of the URL of your website then this post is for you 🙂

You need to add below code into /public_html/.htaccess file :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^YourDomain.com$ [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.YourDomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !SubFolder/
RewriteRule (.*) /SubFolder/$1 [L]

// Replace "YourDomain.com" with your actual Domain Name
// Replace "SubFolder" with your Sub Folder name
