URL redirection permits you to forward visitors from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain is hosted, meaning that you shall still be able to set up fully functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have an Internet site, for instance, but you need to launch one or several localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any difficulty. In case a visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing website. This way, you will not miss potential clients while developing the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux cloud plans, features a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You can also forward a certain subfolder only. As an example, 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 option to choose 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 may deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every semi-dedicated server package which we offer will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL effortlessly. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by adding specific content to it, we shall provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will take care of everything else, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be 100% active. The more advanced users may also make use of a number of other customizable options, including the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, as well as the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be modified with a couple of mouse clicks whenever you want. If you no longer require a redirection, you may delete it just as quickly.
