URL redirection allows you to forward site visitors from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain is hosted, consequently you will still be able to create fully functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, although it shall not accessible directly. If you currently have a website, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or a number of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. In case a site visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they'll be redirected to the existing website. That way, you won't miss customers while creating the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux website hosting packages, provides a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be redirected to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users as well, including the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the Control Panel.
