There are a number of ways to forward visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the traffic to the other site so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud website hosting packages, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be forwarded to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users also, like the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you may disable it with a click from the very same section of the CP.
