URL redirection enables you to forward targeted traffic from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name is hosted, and therefore you shall still be able to set up entirely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have a site, for example, but you need to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without a difficulty. When a visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they will be redirected to the existing site. This way, you shall not miss potential customers while developing the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux website hosting plans, includes a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very simple - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users also, such as the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you can deactivate it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.
