There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you could redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have 2 very similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could forward the site visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and improve it.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our shared website hosting, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also redirect a specific 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 advanced features for more tech-savvy users also, like the feature to select 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'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every semi-dedicated server plan we offer will enable you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without difficulty. While this can be performed manually by setting up a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will supply you with a user-friendly tool in which you will only have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more knowledgeable users may also make use of a number of other customizable options, such as the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, plus the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be modified with several clicks at any time. In case you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
