In case you have several domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open the same website, you could have the Internet site under one of them and forward the rest. There are several ways to redirect one Internet domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. When your hosting package allows it, though, it'll be better if you host all the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you can still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of those things. As an illustration, if you are building localized sites under different country-code Internet domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be forwarded to the main site.

URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud web hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is quite simple - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be redirected to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can forward just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users also, like the feature to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to disable it with a click from the same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server package which we offer will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by including specific content to it, we will give you a user-friendly tool where you will just have to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be 100% active. The more advanced users can also make use of a few other customizable options, including the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). All of these options, and even the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be modified with a couple of mouse clicks anytime. If you no longer require a redirection, you could delete it just as quickly.
