There are a lot of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may 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 kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the traffic to the other Internet site so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux cloud web hosting packages, features a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users as well, like the possibility 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 disable it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
