There are various ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with customers or partners. If you have two identical Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the traffic to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our cloud hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the feature 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 require a redirection, you can disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel.
