There are various ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have two identical sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the traffic to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud website hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be redirected to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
