URL redirection enables you to forward visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain name is hosted, meaning that you will still have the ability to set up completely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it will not be accessible directly. If you already have a site, for example, but you need to launch one or many localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without any difficulty. When a visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing site. That way, you'll not miss potential clients while creating the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud hosting service, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you could disable it with a click from the very same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each semi-dedicated server package deal we offer will enable 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 specific content to it, we'll supply you with a user-friendly tool in which you will just have to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more experienced users can also make use of a number of other customizable options, like the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, and the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be altered with a few mouse clicks at any time. When you no longer need a redirection, you could delete it just as fast.
