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

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our cloud website hosting plans, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You could also redirect a specific subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users as well, including the possibility to select 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 may deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

Our semi-dedicated server packages feature a very convenient tool which will provide you with an automated and easy way to redirect any of your domains to another URL. While this is usually done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will allow you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type the desired remote Internet address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection shall be enabled in just seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you'll be able to select a number of more advanced options as well, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also forward a certain folder instead of the root domain. You will be able to edit these settings at any time, as well as to delete an existing redirection from the same section in which you have created it initially.
