URL redirection allows you to redirect traffic from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain address by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain name is hosted, and thus you shall still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you have a site, for example, but you want to launch one or a variety of localized websites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without any problem. In case a website visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they shall be sent to the existing website. This way, you will not miss potential customers while creating the localized Internet sites.
URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting
If you host your sites with us and you have a shared website hosting plan, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the website visitors from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative Internet address. The procedure takes several simple steps via an user-friendly interface, so you may set up a redirection even if you don't have any previous experience. You'll simply have to select a domain or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL where the visitors have to be redirected to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding that you create could be deactivated from the exact same section of the CP, in case you do not require it anymore.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you create a semi-dedicated server account with us and you want to redirect any one of your domain names or subdomains, you can use the very useful redirection tool that we have added to our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It shall allow you to forward the site visitors within seconds, since all you'll have to do is choose a domain/subdomain and type in the web address of the other website. The redirection will take effect instantly. In case you are knowledgeable, you will be able to change different options, such as the type of the forwarding - temporary or permanent, and the method - direct or match. All these options could be changed for any existing redirection as well, so you will not need to create a new one if you wish to change something. You'll be able to remove a redirection by clicking on the Delete button associated with it.
