There are various ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding can be done only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has several practical uses - if you want to switch your domain address, you may redirect the visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with customers or partners. When you have two very similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you may redirect the visitors to the other Internet site so that you can avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and work on it.
URL Redirector in Hosting
With the point-and-click forwarding tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP, you will be able to forward each of your domains and subdomains regardless of the Linux hosting that you've selected. With just a few clicks, you can set up a new redirection even if you haven't used a hosting account before, since our tool is extremely user-friendly. For a standard redirection, you will only have to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu, to type in the new URL, and then to save the change. The more advanced users can change other options also - the redirection type (permanent/temporary), the method (direct/match) and the folder where this forwarding will be activated (the main domain folder or a particular subfolder). Any forwarding you have set up may be deleted with just a mouse click at any time.

If you purchase any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you'll get access to a useful tool, which you can use to forward any domain hosted in the account with just a few clicks. The tool is an element of the advanced Hepsia Control Panel and can easily be used by both proficient users and rookies. In case that you have no previous experience, you can redirect a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing or pasting the remote URL. If you're more advanced, you can also choose if the type of the redirection should be permanent or temporary and if the method must be direct or match. These options may be modified whenever you want along with the URL, so you shall not need to set up a new redirection if you wish to adjust something. Of course, if you no longer require a given domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you can delete the redirection without any difficulty.
