There are many ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you can 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 decide to switch your domain address, you could forward the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have two identical websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the website visitors to the other site so that you can prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud services, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward just the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users also, including the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you are able to disable it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.
