There are many ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have 2 very similar sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our cloud hosting plans, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very easy - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, including the feature to pick 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 could disable it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server package that we offer will enable you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL easily. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by including certain content to it, we'll supply you with a user-friendly tool where you will simply have to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to type the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be 100% active. The more advanced users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, including the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, as well as the URL a domain is redirected to, could be changed with a couple of mouse clicks whenever you want. When you no longer require a redirection, you could delete it just as quickly.
