There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has lots of practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you could redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and develop it.
URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared website hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather easy - you have to choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be redirected to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users too, like the option 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 require a redirection, you could disable it with a click from the exact same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every semi-dedicated server plan which we offer will allow you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be performed manually by creating a system file and by including particular content to it, we'll provide you with a user-friendly tool in which you will only need to select the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will take care of what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be fully active. The more advanced users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, such as the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, plus the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with just a few clicks anytime. If you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
