There are a lot of ways to forward site visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is often recommended. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could 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. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain, you can redirect the site visitors, but the e-mails with the old one shall still be active if you are getting in touch with customers or partners. In case you have two very similar websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you can redirect the visitors to the other website to avoid losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

When you host your Internet sites with us and you have a web hosting plan, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the site visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. The procedure takes a few basic steps through an intuitive interface, so you may set up a redirection even in case you have no previous experience. You will only have to choose a domain or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL where the website visitors have to be forwarded 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 that you set up can be deactivated from the same exact section of the Control Panel, when you do not need it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server package which we offer will enable you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this may be done manually by creating a system file and by adding certain content to it, we shall provide you with a user-friendly tool in which you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will handle the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more advanced users can also make use of a couple of other customizable options, such as the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and even the URL a domain is redirected to, could be changed with a few mouse clicks anytime. When you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as fast.
