There are a lot of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you could redirect the site visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two identical Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other website in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and improve it.
URL Redirector in Web Hosting
The Hepsia CP, supplied with our web hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely easy - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users too, like 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 are able to disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

The tool is an element of the sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel and may be used by both advanced users and novices. In case that you have no previous experience, you'll be able to forward a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by entering or pasting the remote URL. If you are proficient, you can even choose if the type of the redirection has to be permanent or temporary and if the method has to be direct or match. All of these options could be modified anytime along with the URL, so you won't have to set up a new redirection if you'd like to adjust something. However, when you no longer require a certain domain or subdomain to be redirected, you'll be able to delete the redirection effortlessly.
