There are various ways to forward 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 possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. If you have two similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other website so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud plans, provides a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you can deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the CP.
