There are many ways to forward visitors 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 in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has numerous practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can redirect the site visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active whenever you are communicating with clients or partners. If you have 2 similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the site visitors to the other Internet site so as to avoid losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first Internet site and develop it.
URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux shared website hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather simple - you must select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it should be forwarded to. You could also redirect a particular subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward just the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP.

If you're expert, you can also choose if the type of the redirection should be permanent or temporary and if the method has to be direct or match. Each of these options can be changed anytime along with the URL, so you will not have to set up a new redirection if you want to modify something. Naturally, when you no longer need a given domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you'll be able to delete the redirection without difficulty.
