When you have a few domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same site, you may have the website under one of them and redirect the rest. There are several approaches to forward one domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. If your website hosting plan permits it, though, it'll be better if you host each of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you can still have content for it, set up subdomains, e mail addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain you can't do any of these things. For instance, if you are building localized Internet sites under several country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but at the same time, people will be forwarded to the primary site.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux cloud plans, provides a URL redirection tool that will permit you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you have to select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be redirected to. You could also forward a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer require a redirection, you are able to disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages include a very useful tool that'll provide you with an automated and uncomplicated way to redirect any one of your domain addresses to another URL. While this is commonly done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by typing in specific content in it, our tool will enable you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type the desired remote Internet address. Our system shall do the rest and the forwarding shall be enabled in just seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you could pick a variety of more advanced options as well, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even forward a particular folder instead of the root domain. You'll be able to modify these settings anytime, and to delete an existing redirection from the very same section in which you have created it to begin with.
