There are a number of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the visitors to the other site in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our shared hosting plans, provides a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly simple - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also forward a certain subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users also, such as 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 need a redirection, you are able to disable it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages come with a very useful tool which will offer you an automated and uncomplicated way to forward any one of your domain addresses to an alternative URL. While this is typically done by creating a special file inside the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will allow you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to enter the needed remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection will be activated in just seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you could select a number of more advanced options too, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also redirect a specific folder rather than the root domain. You shall be able to change these settings whenever you want, and to delete an existing redirection from the exact same section in which you have created it from the start.
