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

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite easy - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users also, like the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you could disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
