There are many ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you could forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the site visitors to the other website so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and improve it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our cloud hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very simple - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be redirected to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the option to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you obtain any of our semi-dedicated servers, you shall get access to a handy tool, which you can use to forward any domain hosted within the account with several clicks. The tool is an element of the innovative Hepsia Control Panel and may be used by both proficient users and rookies. In case that you have no previous experience, you could redirect a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing in or pasting the remote URL. If you are more advanced, you can also choose if the type of the redirection needs to be permanent or temporary and if the method should be direct or match. All of these options could be modified anytime along with the URL, so you shall not have to set up a new redirection if you want to adjust something. However, if you no longer want a specific domain or subdomain to be redirected, you could delete the redirection with ease.
