There are a lot of ways to redirect website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have 2 identical websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other website so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.
URL Redirector in Hosting
The Hepsia CP, included with our hosting services, includes a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly simple - you must select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users also, including the option 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 need a redirection, you may deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the CP.
