There are many ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means in simple terms is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you may create email addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can forward the traffic, but the e-mails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar sites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can forward the site visitors to the other website in order to avoid losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared hosting plans, includes a URL redirection tool that will permit you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly uncomplicated - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also forward a specific subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, including the option 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 could disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.

In case you are proficient, you shall be able to edit different options, such as the type of the redirection - temporary or permanent, and the method - direct or match. All these options can be altered for any current redirection too, so you'll not need to set up a new one if you'd like to change something. You'll be able to remove a redirection by clicking on the Delete button associated with it.
