URL redirection enables you to redirect traffic from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain address is hosted, meaning that you'll still be able to create 100% functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, though it shall not accessible directly. If you have a site, for instance, but you need to launch one or several localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any difficulty. In case a visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they shall be redirected to the existing website. That way, you shall not miss potential clients while building the localized websites.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux hosting, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable 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 uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the possibility to choose 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 deactivate it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.
