There are various ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection can be done only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms 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 type of function has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one will still be active if you are communicating with clients or partners. In case you have 2 similar websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you could forward the visitors to the other site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first website and work on it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux cloud website hosting packages, includes a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather easy - you have to choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also forward a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward only the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users too, like 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 can disable it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
