There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other site so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very simple - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be redirected to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated 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, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the CP.
