There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name 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 can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you could redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have two similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other Internet site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux website hosting plans, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward 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 easy - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users too, such as 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 require a redirection, you may disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
