There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has lots of practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you could redirect the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may forward the site visitors to the other website in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our shared plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, 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 as well, like the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you may deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server plan we provide will permit you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will just need to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will handle everything else, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more advanced users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, including the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, plus the URL a domain is redirected to, could be modified with a few clicks whenever you want. If you no longer require a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
