There are a number of ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have two similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other Internet site in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud hosting plans, features a URL redirection tool that will permit you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward just the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature to pick 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'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
