There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. 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 could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are making contact with customers or partners. If you have two similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other site so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and work on it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia CP, included with our cloud hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be forwarded to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, such as 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'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we provide will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL effortlessly. While this can be performed manually by creating a system file and by adding particular content to it, we'll supply you with a user-friendly tool in which you will just have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more knowledgeable users may also make use of a couple of other customizable options, including the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, and the URL a domain is redirected to, may be modified with several mouse clicks whenever you want. If you no longer require a redirection, you can delete it just as easily.
