There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar Internet sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the visitors to the other site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and improve it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud website hosting plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will permit you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users as well, including the option 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 are able to deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
