There are many ways to redirect visitors from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly favored. In contrast to parking a domain name, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you could still open any content if you have a direct link to it and you can set up email addresses or subdomains and use them. This type of feature has numerous practical uses - if you decide to switch your domain address, you could redirect the traffic, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are communicating with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you may forward the traffic to the other website so as to prevent losing potential customers, while you'll still be able to access the administration area for the first site and develop it.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

When you host your Internet sites with us and you have a shared website hosting package deal, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the traffic from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. This process takes several simple steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you could set up a redirection even when you have no previous experience. You will only need to choose a domain or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the traffic must be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to select the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you create could be deactivated from the same section of the Control Panel, when you don't require it anymore.
