URL redirection permits you to forward site visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain is hosted, meaning that you will still have the ability to set up 100% functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have an Internet site, for example, but you would like to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. If a website visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. That way, you will not miss potential clients while creating the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting
The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux shared web hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the feature to choose 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 could deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server offers feature a very handy tool that will provide you with an automated and easy way to redirect any one of your domains to an alternative URL. While this is typically done by creating a special file inside the domain folder and by entering specific content in it, our tool will enable you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the preferred remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding will be enabled in seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you can choose a variety of more advanced options too, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a specific folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to edit these settings anytime, as well as to delete an active redirection from the same section where you have created it to start with.
