There are a number of ways to redirect site 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 in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you may redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active whenever you are making contact with customers or partners. In case you have 2 similar Internet sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting, includes a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be redirected to. You may also redirect a certain 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 features for more tech-savvy users also, 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 are able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.

These options can be altered at any time as well as the URL, so you won't have to set up a new redirection if you want to change something. Of course, when you no longer want a given domain or subdomain to be redirected, you can delete the redirection with ease.
