There are various ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you may forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. When you have 2 very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the visitors to the other website in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our hosting plans, includes a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward 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 easy - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You can also forward a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated features 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, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you may deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.
