To redirect traffic from https://ip.address to https://domain, you can use a server-side redirect method like mod_rewrite in Apache web server or URL Rewrite in IIS. Here is how you can do it in Apache using mod_rewrite:

  1. Open your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and make sure mod_rewrite module is enabled.
  2. Add the following code inside your VirtualHost block for the IP address in the Apache configuration file:
1
2
3
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ip.address$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain$1 [R=301,L]


  1. Save the configuration file and restart Apache to apply the changes.


Now, when someone tries to access https://ip.address, they will be automatically redirected to https://domain. Make sure to replace "ip.address" and "domain" with your actual IP address and domain name.
