There are a lot of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active whenever you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other site in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and improve it.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our web hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather simple - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be forwarded to. You may also forward a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect only the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, 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 may disable it with a click from the same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans include a very useful tool which will provide you with an automated and simple way to redirect any one of your domains to a different URL. While this is commonly done by creating a special file in the domain folder and by typing specific content inside it, our tool will permit you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type the preferred remote web address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection will be active in seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you could choose a variety of more advanced options too, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also redirect a particular folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to edit these settings anytime, and even to delete an active redirection from the very same section where you have created it in the first place.
