URL redirection allows you to forward targeted traffic from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name is hosted, and therefore you'll still have the ability to create entirely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you already have an Internet site, for example, but you would like to launch one or many localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no problem. In case a website visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they'll be sent to the existing website. That way, you shall not miss potential customers while building the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux shared website hosting packages, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly simple - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users also, like the option 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 can disable it with a click from the exact same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Each and every semi-dedicated server package deal which we provide will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL easily. While this can be done manually by creating a system file and by including certain content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more experienced users can also make use of a number of other customizable options, like the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and even the URL a domain is redirected to, could be modified with just a few clicks whenever you want. When you no longer need a redirection, you could delete it just as fast.
