There are various ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially 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 feature has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you may redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have 2 similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the website visitors to the other site so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud website hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely easy - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users as well, like 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 need a redirection, you are able to disable it with a click from the same section of the CP.

In case you are expert, you can also decide if the type of the redirection must be permanent or temporary and if the method must be direct or match. All of these options could be changed anytime along with the URL, so you shall not have to create a new redirection if you would like to change something. Of course, if you no longer require a specific domain or subdomain to be redirected, you are able to delete the redirection with ease.
