There are a lot of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with customers or partners. In case you have two very similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly simple - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also forward a specific subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users also, like the option 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 deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages feature a very convenient tool that will supply you with an automated and simple way to forward any of your domain names to an alternative URL. While this is usually done by creating a special file within the domain folder and by typing in specific content within it, our tool will permit you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the desired remote web address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection will be enabled in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you may choose a variety of more advanced options as well, particularly the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also forward a specific folder rather than the root domain. You will be able to edit these settings whenever you want, as well as to delete an active redirection from the exact same section in which you have created it initially.
