There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you may still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has many practical uses - if you want to switch your domain name, you could redirect the visitors, but the e-mail messages with the old one will still be active if you are getting in touch with clients or partners. If you have 2 identical websites and you need to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the visitors to the other site in order to prevent losing potential clients, while you'll still be able to access the admin area for the first website and improve it.

With the point-and-click redirection tool, that is part of our in-house built Hepsia CP, you will be able to redirect any of your domain addresses and subdomains irrespective of the shared website hosting plan which you have picked. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you can easily set up a new redirection even if you haven't used a hosting account before, as our tool is extremely intuitive. For a standard redirection, you will only have to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu, to input the new URL, and then to save the modification.

Any redirection which you have set up may be deleted with only a click anytime.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans include a very convenient tool which will offer you an automated and easy way to redirect any one of your domain names to a different URL. While this is commonly done by setting up a special file in the domain folder and by typing in specific content inside it, our tool will enable you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the needed remote Internet address. Our system shall do the rest and the forwarding will be enabled in seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you may choose a variety of more advanced options as well, such as the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a certain folder instead of the root domain. You will be able to modify these settings at any time, and even to delete an active redirection from the same section in which you have created it to start with.
