URL redirection enables you to forward site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain address is hosted, meaning that you'll still have the ability to create 100% functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have an Internet site, for example, but you'd like to launch one or a number of localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any problem. In case a visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they will be forwarded to the existing Internet site. In this way, you won't miss customers while building the localized websites.

URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud website 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 - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather simple - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also forward a certain subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect only the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature 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 require a redirection, you are able to deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server plan that we provide will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL effortlessly. While this can be performed manually by setting up a system file and by adding certain content to it, we will give you a user-friendly tool where you will just need to select the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will take care of everything else, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more knowledgeable 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). Each of these options, along with the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be changed with just a few mouse clicks at any time. In case you no longer require a redirection, you could delete it just as easily.
