There are many ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can 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. Such a function has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active in case you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have 2 identical Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud web hosting, provides a URL redirection tool that will enable 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 extremely easy - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the feature 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 are able to disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel.
