There are a lot of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you could redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active if you are getting in touch with customers or partners. If you have two similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the website visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud website hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect 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 rather simple - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users also, including the feature to pick 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 can deactivate it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
