There are a number of ways to redirect traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is oftentimes favored. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain in question is hosted. What this means essentially is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you may create e mail addresses or subdomains and use them. This kind of function has numerous practical uses - if you want to switch your domain, you may forward the site visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with customers or partners. When you have 2 similar Internet sites and you would like to rebuild one of them, you could redirect the traffic to the other Internet site in order to avoid losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administrator area for the first website and improve it.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

If you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a shared hosting package, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the traffic from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another web address. The procedure takes a few easy steps through an user-friendly interface, so you can create a redirection even when you don't have previous experience. You will simply have to choose a domain or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the site visitors have to be sent to. For more advanced users, there are also options to select the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you set up can be deactivated from the very same section of the CP, in case you do not need it anymore.
