There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could 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. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 identical sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site so that you can prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our hosting services, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly simple - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced features 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, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you may deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
