There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has many practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you could redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have 2 very similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could forward the website visitors to the other Internet site to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.
URL Redirector in Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux website hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very simple - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users also, including the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you may deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
