There are various 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 name, a URL redirection can be done 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 can set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have two similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could forward the site visitors to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You could also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility to select 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 could deactivate it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
