There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have 2 very similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the site visitors to the other website so that you can prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very easy - you have to choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a specific subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated options 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 require a redirection, you can disable it with a click from the very same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans come with a very convenient tool that'll provide you with an automated and simple way to redirect any one of your domains some other URL. While this is normally done by setting up a special file within the domain folder and by typing in specific content in it, our tool will allow you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the needed remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection shall be enabled within seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you may pick a number of more advanced options as well, such as the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even forward a certain folder rather than the root domain. You shall be able to edit these settings anytime, and also to delete an active redirection from the same section where you have created it to start with.
