There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL redirection is feasible 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 create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you could forward the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active whenever you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two identical websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other Internet site to prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and work on it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting
The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux cloud web hosting, provides a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also redirect a certain 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 sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users as well, like the option to pick 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 are able to deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
