There are a number of ways to forward website visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means essentially 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 type of feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain address, you can redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active in the event that you are getting in touch with clients or partners. In case you have two very similar websites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the visitors to the other Internet site so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and improve it.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

When you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a web hosting package, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different web address. The task takes a number of basic steps through an intuitive interface, so you could create a redirection even if you have zero previous experience. You'll simply need to select a domain address or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the traffic should be redirected to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection you set up can be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, if you don't require it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server package that we provide will permit you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this can be carried out manually by setting up a system file and by adding specific content to it, we'll offer you a user-friendly tool where you will just need to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more experienced users can also make use of a few other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and even the URL a domain is forwarded to, may be changed with just a few clicks at any time. When you no longer require a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
