There are many ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active if you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have two similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other website in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our website hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a specific subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the option to select 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 could deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
