# Do you support Mod_Rewrite?

The quick answer is yes! Mod_rewrite is a rule based rewrite engine that handles rewriting URL’s on the fly. If you have set up a[ re-direct within cPanel](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/setting-up-redirect-cpanel/), you have unwittingly used mod_rewrite to create a rule in your .htaccess file. If you need further assistance with mod_rewrite please feel free to [contact our support department](/support/amp/how-to-get-great-technical-support/).
