There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you can redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two similar sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux website hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely easy - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You could also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you may deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Each and every semi-dedicated server plan we offer will allow you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by adding particular content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool in which you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will take care of everything else, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be fully active. The more experienced users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, like the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, as well as the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be altered with a few mouse clicks anytime. If you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
