Create .htaccess file

So I was putting it in the public_html dir. But I am on shared hosting, so can only put it in my /home/username/ directory, where also its not having any effect.

 

You can redirect your site links without any problems with the Redirect Section in your Control panel Cpanel.But in case you want to add your rewrite rules manually, just add them to /home/user/public_html/.htaccess



You can also use mod rewrite generator http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite to generate the rewrite rules for your site.
