There are a lot of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may forward the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other site so that you can prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud hosting, provides a URL redirection tool that will permit you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite simple - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward just the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users too, such as the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
