URL redirection allows you to redirect targeted traffic from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL redirection is possible provided that the domain address is hosted, and therefore you will still have the ability to set up 100% functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, though it will not be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for example, but you would like to launch one or a number of localized websites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without a difficulty. When a visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they will be forwarded to the existing site. This way, you'll not miss customers while building the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our cloud website hosting, includes a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also forward a specific subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect just the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users too, including the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server plan which we provide will permit you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be done manually by creating a system file and by adding specific content to it, we'll give you a user-friendly tool where you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will take care of what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more knowledgeable users can also make use of a couple of other customizable options, including the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). All of these options, plus the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with several clicks anytime. If you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as quickly.
