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

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud hosting plans, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite easy - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be redirected to. You may also redirect a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users too, including the option 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 could deactivate it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by adding certain content to it, we'll give you a user-friendly tool where you will just have to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to type the remote address. Our system will handle everything else, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more experienced users may also make use of a couple of other customizable options, like the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). All of these options, as well as the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be altered with just a few mouse clicks anytime. When you no longer need a redirection, you could delete it just as easily.
