URL redirection permits you to redirect site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain name is hosted, and therefore you'll still have the ability to set up completely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, although it won't be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or several localized sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no difficulty. If a site visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they will be redirected to the existing Internet site. In this way, you will not miss potential customers while creating the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool which will allow you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be forwarded to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has complex features for more tech-savvy users as well, including the possibility to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a click from the exact same section of the CP.
