There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has several practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. If you have 2 similar websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the traffic to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our shared hosting plans, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to redirect any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users too, including the option to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.
