There are a number of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you could redirect the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar sites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other site in order to prevent losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our hosting, features a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is incredibly simple - 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. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the option to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
