URL redirection allows you to redirect traffic from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name is hosted, meaning that you will still be able to create completely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, even though it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have a site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or a variety of localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no difficulty. If a website visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they will be redirected to the existing Internet site. In this way, you will not miss customers while building the localized websites.
URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud website hosting plans, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly easy - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it should be forwarded to. You can also forward a particular subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, including the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
