There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared packages, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite easy - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward only the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users too, like the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you shall get access to an efficient tool, that you can use to redirect any domain hosted in the account with a few clicks. The tool is part of the sophisticated Hepsia CP and can easily be used by both advanced users and beginners. If you have no previous experience, you could forward a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing in or pasting the remote URL. In case you are proficient, you can even choose if the type of the redirection should be permanent or temporary and if the method has to be direct or match. These options can be changed at any time as well as the URL, so you shall not have to set up a new redirection if you would like to modify something. Of course, when you no longer require a given domain or subdomain to be redirected, you'll be able to delete the redirection without difficulty.
