There are a number of ways to redirect site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done 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 may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has many practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you can redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are communicating with customers or partners. If you have 2 very similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the site visitors to the other site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first site and improve it.
URL Redirector in Website Hosting
With the point-and-click forwarding tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP, you will be able to redirect all of your domain names and subdomains regardless of the website hosting that you've chosen. With just several mouse clicks, you could create a new redirection even if you haven't used a website hosting account before, because our tool is really user-friendly. For a standard redirection, you'll only need to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu, to type the new URL, and then to save the modification. The more advanced users can edit other options also - the redirection type (permanent/temporary), the method (direct/match) and the folder where this forwarding shall be activated (the main domain folder or a particular subfolder). Any redirection that you have set up may be deleted with only a click whenever you want.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each semi-dedicated server package deal that we provide will enable you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this can be carried out manually by setting up a system file and by including specific content to it, we'll give you a user-friendly tool where you will only need to pick the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be completely active. The more knowledgeable users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, along with the URL a domain is redirected to, could be changed with just a few mouse clicks whenever you want. If you no longer need a redirection, you can delete it just as quickly.
