URL redirection allows you to forward targeted traffic from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain address is hosted, and thus you will still have the ability to set up 100% functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you already have a website, for example, but you'd like to launch one or many localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without a difficulty. If a visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing site. In this way, you won't miss potential customers while creating the localized Internet sites.
URL Redirector in Website Hosting
The Hepsia CP, which comes with our website hosting, features a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather simple - you have to choose a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also redirect a specific subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users also, such as the possibility to choose 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 may deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages come with a very useful tool that will supply you with an automated and uncomplicated way to redirect any one of your domains to another URL. While this is commonly done by creating a special file in the domain folder and by inputting specific content inside it, our tool will allow you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the desired remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding will be active within seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you can select a variety of more advanced options too, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also forward a certain folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to modify these settings anytime, and to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it from the start.
