There are a number of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is frequently preferred. In contrast to parking a domain, a URL forwarding is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has lots of practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain, you may forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one will still be active in the event that you are communicating with customers or partners. If you have 2 identical websites and you intend to rebuild one of them, you could forward the traffic to the other site so as to avoid losing potential clients, while you will still be able to access the admin area for the first Internet site and work on it.
URL Redirector in Cloud Web Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud web hosting, features a URL redirection 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 extremely simple - you must select a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you can redirect just the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users as well, like the option to pick 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 could disable it with a click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.

These options may be modified for any present redirection also, so you will not have to set up a new one if you'd like to edit something. You can remove a redirection by clicking on the Delete button associated with it.
