There are a number of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could 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 kind of feature has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud web hosting packages, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users also, including the possibility to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you can disable it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans include a very handy tool that will offer you an automated and easy way to forward any one of your domain addresses to another URL. While this is commonly done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by typing in specific content within it, our tool will permit you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to enter the preferred remote Internet address. Our system shall do the rest and the forwarding shall be enabled in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you'll be able to pick a number of more advanced options also, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also redirect a specific folder rather than the root domain. You will be able to modify these settings at any time, as well as to delete an active redirection from the very same section in which you have created it initially.
