There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could forward the traffic, but the emails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two identical sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other Internet site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux shared hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You can also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward just the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, like the option to select 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 could deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you obtain any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you'll get access to an efficient tool, which you can use to forward any domain hosted in the account with a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is a component of the sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel and could be used by both advanced users and beginners. In case you have no previous experience, you'll be able to redirect a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing or pasting the remote URL. If you're proficient, you can also decide if the type of the redirection must be permanent or temporary and if the method needs to be direct or match. All of these options can be changed anytime as well as the URL, so you won't need to set up a new redirection if you want to adjust something. Of course, when you no longer require a given domain or subdomain to be redirected, you could delete the redirection without any difficulty.
