There are many ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared web hosting packages, includes a URL forwarding tool that will permit 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 very simple - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be forwarded to. You can also forward a specific subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users also, such as the option to choose 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 may disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel.
