There are a lot of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This sort of function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you could redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have 2 similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our cloud hosting plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users also, like 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 could disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

Our system will take care of everything else, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more experienced users can also make use of a couple of other customizable options, such as the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, and the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be altered with just a few mouse clicks at any time. If you no longer need a redirection, you could delete it just as easily.
