There are many ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you can redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are communicating with customers or partners. If you have two identical Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux 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 - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the possibility to choose 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 may deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

These options, and even the URL a domain is redirected to, may be modified with several mouse clicks at any time. When you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as easily.
