There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically 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 kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you could redirect the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared website hosting packages, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the option to choose 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 can deactivate it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.
