URL redirection allows you to redirect visitors from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain address is hosted, and therefore you shall still have the ability to set up completely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you already have a site, for example, but you'd like to launch one or many localized sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. When a website visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they will be forwarded to the existing site. That way, you will not miss potential clients while developing the localized websites.

URL Redirector in Hosting

If you host your websites with our company and you have a 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 a different Internet address. The procedure takes several simple steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you could set up a redirection even when you have zero previous experience. You'll only have to choose a domain address or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to pick the folder in which the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type in the URL to which the traffic have to be sent to. For more proficient users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you create could be deactivated from the same exact section of the Control Panel, in case you do not require it anymore.

Our system shall do the rest and the redirection will be active in just seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you could choose a range of more advanced options as well, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a specific folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to edit these settings anytime, as well as to delete an active redirection from the exact same section where you have created it from the start.
