There are various ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have two similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the visitors to the other Internet site in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the option to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you are able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages include a very handy tool that'll supply you with an automated and easy way to forward any one of your domains to a different URL. While this is commonly done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by typing in specific content in it, our tool will enable you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the needed remote Internet address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection shall be enabled within seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you could pick a range of more advanced options also, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also forward a certain folder rather than the root domain. You will be able to change these settings at any time, and even to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it to begin with.
