There are many ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you can forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with clients or partners. When you have 2 similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other site to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux web hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very simple - you must select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it should be redirected to. You can also redirect a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility 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 need a redirection, you are able to deactivate it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server package 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 creating a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will offer you a user-friendly tool in which you will only need to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more experienced users may also make use of a number of other customizable options, like the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, along with the URL a domain is forwarded to, may be changed with a couple of mouse clicks anytime. When you no longer require a redirection, you can delete it just as quickly.
