There are various ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you can redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the website visitors to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux cloud service, features a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly simple - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be redirected to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the option 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 need a redirection, you are able to disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
