There are a lot of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name 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 could create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of feature has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you may redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. When you have 2 identical sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the site visitors to the other Internet site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and improve it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our Linux cloud website hosting packages, features a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to redirect 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 simple - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility 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'll be able to deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
