URL redirection enables you to redirect visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name is hosted, consequently you'll still be able to set up fully functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, although it won't be accessible directly. If you have a site, for instance, but you want to launch one or a variety of localized websites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without any problem. When a site visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they will be forwarded to the existing website. This way, you shall not miss potential clients while building the localized websites.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting, includes a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is extremely simple - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You could also redirect a certain subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated functions for more tech-savvy users too, such as the possibility to select 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 deactivate it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.
