There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of function has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the website visitors to the other site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be redirected to. You could also forward a particular subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users also, like the possibility to pick 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 may deactivate it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire any of our semi-dedicated servers, you'll get access to a useful tool, which you can use to redirect any domain hosted in the account with a few mouse clicks. The tool is part of the innovative Hepsia Control Panel and can be used by both expert users and novices. In case you have no previous experience, you can forward a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by inputting or pasting the remote URL. In case you are more advanced, you can also choose if the type of the redirection must be permanent or temporary and if the method needs to be direct or match. All of these options may be altered anytime as well as the URL, so you shall not need to set up a new redirection if you would like to modify something. Of course, if you no longer need a certain domain or subdomain to be redirected, you'll be able to delete the redirection with ease.
