In case you have several domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same Internet site, you could have the Internet site under one of them and redirect all the rest. There are several approaches to forward one domain to another, among them the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package permits it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of these things. As an example, if you are building localized Internet sites under several country-code Internet domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be forwarded to the primary website.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our Linux shared website hosting, features a URL redirection tool which will allow you to forward any domain name or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very easy - you must select a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it has to be redirected to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. For instance, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you can deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages come with a very handy tool that will offer you an automated and simple way to forward any one of your domain names some other URL. While this is typically done by setting up a special file within the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will enable you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the needed remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding will be active within seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you could choose a range of more advanced options also, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also forward a specific folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings whenever you want, and even to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it to start with.
