URL redirection permits you to forward targeted traffic from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name is hosted, consequently you will still be able to set up 100% functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, though it won't be accessible directly. If you currently have a site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or many localized sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without a difficulty. In case a site visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. This way, you'll not miss potential customers while creating the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Hosting

When you host your websites with us and you have a hosting package deal, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the site visitors from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another web address. The process takes several basic steps through an intuitive interface, so you can create a redirection even when you don't have any previous experience. You'll simply have to select a domain name or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the visitors have to be sent to. For more experienced users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding that you set up can be deactivated from the very same section of the Control Panel, if you do not need it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages include a very useful tool that will offer you an automated and easy way to forward any one of your domain addresses to a different URL. While this is normally done by setting up a special file in the domain folder and by typing in specific content in it, our tool will allow you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the needed remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding will be enabled in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you'll be able to choose a variety of more advanced options as well, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even redirect a particular folder instead of the root domain. You shall be able to modify these settings whenever you want, and to delete an existing redirection from the same section in which you have created it in the first place.
