There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name 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 e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain name, you may forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. When you have 2 similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

With the point-and-click forwarding tool, that's part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to redirect all of your domains and subdomains whatever the Linux shared hosting that you've chosen. With simply a few mouse clicks, you can easily set up a new redirection even if you have not used a website hosting account before, since our tool is extremely easy-to-use. For a standard redirection, you'll only have to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu, to type the new URL, and then to save the change. The more proficient users can alter other options too - the forwarding type (permanent/temporary), the method (direct/match) and the folder where this redirection shall be enabled (the main domain folder or a particular subfolder). Any forwarding you have set up could be deleted with just a mouse click anytime.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every semi-dedicated server package deal we offer will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without difficulty. While this can be done manually by creating a system file and by including certain content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool in which you will just need to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type the remote address. Our system will take care of everything else, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more experienced users may also make use of a few other customizable options, such as the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and the URL a domain is redirected to, may be modified with several clicks whenever you want. If you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
