There are various ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of 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 in case you are making contact with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the website visitors to the other website so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared web hosting services, provides a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely simple - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be redirected to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users also, like the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you could disable it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

Our system will do the rest and the forwarding will be active in seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you may choose a variety of more advanced options also, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent).
