There are a number of ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain name 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 could create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 very similar sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the visitors to the other website to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our shared hosting plans, includes a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then type in 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 could redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you are able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
