I would like to redirect www.proofs.katwheeler.com to www.katwheeler.com I no longer want proofs.katwheeler.com going to where its going. How do I do this? Katwheeler.com is a add on domain from wheelerbunch (which I dont even use), I am so confused, and do not really know what to do. In the cpanel when i go to redirecting it only shows wheelerbunch.com and then not katwheeler.com, when I click addon domains from the beginning, it shows katwheeler.com and towards the bottom shows a way to redirect the whole domain elsewhere which I don't want to do..

Why am I doing this? Well right now if you type in oceanside photographer I come up under that site(That use to be my site I hosted customers proofs at, smugmug) but I no longer use it, so instead of losing the searchability(which i still may? I dont know) I want to just reroute it and let google still direct people from google to me that way, does that make any sense? Lol...I do'nt know if what I want to accomplish is possible, please help!

A little update, I went into subdomains (proofs.katwheeler.com) and did a redirect to www.katwheeler.com but still when I go to google and type oceanside photographer my link comes up and when I click it, it still takes me to the smugmug site..is that because I have to do something w/in smugmug?

cPanel has a reputation for being flaky when dealing with redirection and subdomains. Can you show us what the redirection added to your .htaccess file(s)? If that can't be fixed, it should be easy enough to do it manually. An alternative would be to forget .htaccess redirection and use an index.html that has a meta tag to redirect.
