There are various ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done 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 may set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two identical Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other website in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the option to choose 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 are able to disable it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every semi-dedicated server package we offer will allow you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this may be done manually by setting up a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will supply you with a user-friendly tool in which you will just have to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be 100% active. The more knowledgeable users could also make use of a couple of other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, and even the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with a few mouse clicks anytime. When you no longer require a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
