There are a number of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain 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 could set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you may redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other website so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and improve it.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia CP, included with our shared services, includes a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is extremely simple - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward only the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users also, including the possibility to choose 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 can disable it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you start a semi-dedicated server account with us and you want to forward any one of your domains or subdomains, you can benefit from the practical redirection tool that we have included with our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It will permit you to redirect the website visitors within seconds, since all you will have to do is pick a domain/subdomain and type in the web address of the other site. The forwarding will take effect almost immediately. If you are more advanced, you shall be able to change different options, like the type of the redirection - temporary or permanent, and the method - direct or match. All these options could be changed for any already present redirection too, so you will not have to create a new one if you want to change something. You can remove a redirection by clicking on the Delete button associated with it.
