There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done 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 could set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you could forward the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in case you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 identical sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other website to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux hosting services, provides a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward 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 quite uncomplicated - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions 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 disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
