There are many ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible 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 could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you may redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have 2 very similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very easy - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the feature to pick 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 may disable it with a click from the very same section of the CP.

If you are proficient, you could also decide if the type of the redirection should be permanent or temporary and if the method should be direct or match. These options can be modified whenever you want along with the URL, so you won't have to set up a new redirection if you wish to change something. However, when you no longer need a specific domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you'll be able to delete the redirection with ease.
