There are a number of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. 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 basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first site and improve it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting
The Hepsia CP, which comes with our cloud website hosting plans, provides a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, like the option to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you are able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you acquire any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers, you will get access to a handy tool, which you can use to redirect any domain hosted in the account with several mouse clicks. The tool is part of the innovative Hepsia CP and can be used by both experienced users and rookies. If you have no previous experience, you'll be able to redirect a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing in or pasting the remote URL. In case you are proficient, you can also choose if the type of the redirection needs to be permanent or temporary and if the method must be direct or match. Any of these options can be modified at any time along with the URL, so you will not need to set up a new redirection if you wish to change something. Needless to say, if you no longer want a particular domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you can delete the redirection without difficulty.
