There are various ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active whenever you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have two similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other website so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud hosting plans, includes a URL redirection tool that will permit you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite easy - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users as well, like 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 may disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel.
