URL redirection enables you to redirect targeted traffic from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain name is hosted, and therefore you'll still be able to create 100% 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 an Internet site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them with no difficulty. If a website visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. This way, you shall not miss customers while developing the localized websites.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will permit you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users too, including the possibility to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase any of our semi-dedicated plans, you will get access to a helpful tool, you can use to redirect any domain hosted within the account with just a few mouse clicks. The tool is part of the innovative Hepsia CP and can easily be used by both advanced users and novices. If 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. If you're more advanced, you can also decide if the type of the redirection needs to be permanent or temporary and if the method needs to be direct or match. Each of these options could be modified whenever you want as well as the URL, so you will not have to create a new redirection if you would like to modify something. Of course, if you no longer need a specific domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you could delete the redirection with ease.
