if you use BPS, chances are that you erase all redirections recorded in the BlueHost CPanel with the Redirection tool.
The statement above is backwards. The cPanel Redirection Tool looks at the root htaccess file code and then tries to calculate what to do/create itself and then makes those changes to itself in the cPanel Redirection tool settings. So the cPanel Redirection tool is changing/modifying/deleting/erasing the redirections in the cPanel Redirection tool settings based on what it thinks it sees in the root htaccess file. In the past there have been several cPanel tools and utilities that malfunctioned similarly to the cPanel Redirection tool. I believe that the newest most current version of cPanel has fixed all of their cPanel tools and utilities so that they are no longer malfunctioning like this anymore.
I recommend adding htaccess redirect code in BPS Custom Code, which is what I do for all of the AITpro.com websites including this site which has around 500 lines of redirect code/rules. I guess if you have 50,000 to 100,000 redirects to do then it would probably be better to add them at the cPanel level otherwise anything less than 50,000 lines of htaccess redirect code can be created in your root htaccess file and there would be absolutely no difference in page load speeds.
