URL redirection permits you to redirect site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name is hosted, consequently you shall still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, although it shall not accessible directly. If you already have a website, for instance, but you need to launch one or a number of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any difficulty. In case a site visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they'll be sent to the existing Internet site. This way, you won't miss potential clients while developing the localized Internet sites.
URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting
The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared web hosting plans, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely easy - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward just the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users as well, like the possibility 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 could disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans come with a very handy tool that'll supply you with an automated and simple way to redirect any one of your domains to another URL. While this is in most cases done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will permit you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the preferred remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding shall be enabled in just seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you may pick a variety of more advanced options too, such as the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also redirect a specific folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings whenever you want, and to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it initially.
