There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can forward the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in case you are getting in touch with customers or partners. When you have two similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may forward the website visitors to the other website to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting

With the point-and-click forwarding tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to redirect each of your domain names and subdomains no matter the Linux shared web hosting that you've picked. With just several mouse clicks, you are able to set up a new redirection even if you never used a web hosting account before, due to the fact that our tool is very intuitive. For a standard forwarding, you'll only have to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu, to type the new URL, and then to save the progress. The more advanced users can modify other options too - the forwarding type (permanent/temporary), the method (direct/match) and the folder where this forwarding will be enabled (the main domain folder or a certain subfolder). Any forwarding which you have created could be deleted with only a click anytime.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages come with a very convenient tool that will supply you with an automated and simple way to redirect any one of your domains to another URL. While this is in most cases done by setting up a special file within the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will enable you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the desired remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection will be activated in just seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you'll be able to pick a number of more advanced options too, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a particular folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings at any time, as well as to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it to start with.
