There are a lot of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name 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 can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active whenever you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have two similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could forward the site visitors to the other website so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be redirected to. You can also forward a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature to pick 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 are able to disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
