There are a number of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically 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. Such a function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have two identical websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux cloud website hosting packages, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite easy - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also redirect a specific subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you may deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
