There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with customers or partners. In case you have 2 similar sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site so that you can prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux cloud web hosting plans, features a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather simple - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be redirected to. You can also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect only the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you can disable it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server plan we provide will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL easily. While this may be done manually by creating a system file and by including particular content to it, we will give you a user-friendly tool in which you will simply have to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will handle everything else, 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, like the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, as well as the URL a domain is redirected to, may be modified with a few mouse clicks at any time. When you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as fast.
