There are various ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you may redirect the traffic, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active in the event that you are communicating with customers or partners. In case you have two identical sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could forward the traffic to the other site so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux web hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will enable you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users too, 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 require a redirection, you may disable it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
