There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the 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 site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux cloud website hosting services, features a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect 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 quite uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it should be redirected to. You could also redirect a specific subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users too, including the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server solutions include a very useful tool which will offer you an automated and uncomplicated way to forward any of your domain names some other URL. While this is commonly done by creating a special file in the domain folder and by typing in specific content in it, our tool will permit you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the needed remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection will be active in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you could choose a variety of more advanced options too, particularly the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a particular folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to modify these settings at any time, and even to delete an existing redirection from the very same section in which you have created it to start with.
