You can use mod_rewrite.

Create .htaccess file in root containing

RewriteEngine On 
RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog http://blog.example.com/

not working. Not Found The requested URL /blog was not found on this server.. Getting this error while trying to access `example.com/blog` – gurupal singh Aug 19 '17 at 06:24
1) Do you have installed mod_rewrite? 2) In which folder did you put this file? – Vasia Dunaev Aug 19 '17 at 06:31
yes mod_rewrite is enabled. I put .htaccess in root folder of my website and my blog is running on another server with `blog.dvele.com` sub-domain . I want users to redirect from `example.com/blog` to `blog.exmaple.com` – gurupal singh Aug 19 '17 at 06:34
.htaccess should be in the same folder as index.html. – Vasia Dunaev Aug 19 '17 at 06:41
yes .htaccess is in the same folder as index.html but still getting `Not Found The requested URL /blog was not found on this server` error – gurupal singh Aug 19 '17 at 06:56
it looks like mod_rewrite is not working. Please check that options "AllowOverride All" in your apache virtual hosts file. And you restart apache after enabled mod_rewrite. – Vasia Dunaev Aug 19 '17 at 07:12
