URL redirection allows you to redirect site visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain address is hosted, and thus you shall still have the ability to create 100% functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without any difficulty. If a website visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they will be sent to the existing Internet site. That way, you shall not miss customers while building the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared website hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite easy - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also redirect a specific subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users too, including the feature to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you could disable it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server plan we offer will permit you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be done manually by setting up a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will supply you with a user-friendly tool where you will only have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more advanced users can also make use of a couple of other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with several clicks at any time. When you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as fast.
