There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could 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 sort of feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with customers or partners. In case you have two very similar Internet sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our Linux cloud web hosting service, includes a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly easy - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the option to choose 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 deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server package deal which we offer will permit you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this may be done manually by setting up a system file and by including certain content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will only need to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type 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 few other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, plus the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be altered with a couple of mouse clicks at any time. In case you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as easily.
