URL redirection allows you to forward traffic from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain name is hosted, and therefore you'll still be able to set up entirely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you currently have a website, for example, but you'd like to launch one or several localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without a difficulty. If a site visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be sent to the existing website. That way, you won't miss potential clients while building the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our shared hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will enable you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to pick a domain/subdomain and then type 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 are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the feature to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you may disable it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
