URL redirection allows you to forward site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain is hosted, and thus you shall still be able to set up fully functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you already have an Internet site, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or many localized sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no problem. In case a visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they will be sent to the existing Internet site. That way, you will not miss potential customers while creating the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, included with our Linux shared hosting, includes a URL redirection tool which will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite simple - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a certain subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users as well, like 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 need a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server solutions feature a very handy tool which will provide you with an automated and easy way to forward any of your domain addresses some other URL. While this is usually done by creating a special file within the domain folder and by typing in specific content inside it, our tool will permit you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the needed remote web address. Our system shall do the rest and the forwarding shall be enabled in seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you can choose a number of more advanced options as well, particularly the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may even redirect a certain folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to modify these settings anytime, and also to delete an active redirection from the same exact section where you have created it from the start.
