In case you have a number of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open the same site, you may have the Internet site under one of them and forward the rest. There are a number of methods to forward one domain to another, including the so-called domain parking. If your web hosting package allows it, though, it will be better if you host all the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, e mail addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you can't do any of those things. For instance, if you are building localized sites under different country-code domain names, you'll be able to work on them, but at the same time, people shall be redirected to the primary site.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our Linux shared website hosting plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather easy - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also redirect a specific subfolder only. For instance, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the feature to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you can deactivate it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase any of our Linux semi-dedicated plans, you will get access to an efficient tool, you can use to forward any domain hosted in the account with several clicks. The tool is an element of the advanced Hepsia Control Panel and could be used by both expert users and beginners. In case you have no previous experience, you can forward a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing or pasting the remote URL. In case you are expert, you can even decide if the type of the redirection must be permanent or temporary and if the method must be direct or match. Any of these options can be changed anytime along with the URL, so you will not have to create a new redirection if you would like to modify something. However, when you no longer want a certain domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you can delete the redirection without difficulty.
