URL redirection enables you to forward traffic from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain is hosted, and thus you shall still have the ability to set up fully functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it won't be accessible directly. If you have a website, for instance, but you need to launch one or several localized sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them with no difficulty. If a website visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be redirected to the existing site. In this way, you won't miss customers while creating the localized Internet sites.

URL Redirector in Hosting

If you host your websites with our company and you have a hosting package deal, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the website visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another Internet address. The task takes a number of basic steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you can create a redirection even if you don't have any previous experience. You will only have to pick a domain name or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the site visitors must be forwarded to. For more proficient users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you create may be deactivated from the same section of the Control Panel, in case you do not need it anymore.
