There are various ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you could set up e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a function has several practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you may redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical websites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the website visitors to the other site so as to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our cloud service, features a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be redirected to. You can also forward a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users too, such as the feature to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you could disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
