URL redirection permits you to forward site visitors from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain address by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain name is hosted, and thus you will still have the ability to create 100% functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you need to launch one or several localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them with no difficulty. When a site visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they'll be redirected to the existing website. That way, you will not miss potential customers while creating the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Cloud Website Hosting
We offer a convenient and incredibly simple-to-use tool for setting up a URL forwarding, so in case you have a cloud website hosting account with us, you can take full advantage of it, if required. Any domain name or subdomain hosted in the account could be forwarded, so you will only have to select the one you need from a drop-down menu, to choose if the primary folder or a subfolder will be forwarded and to type the new web address, regardless of whether it's pointing to a different Internet inside your account or to a website on a remote hosting server. The redirection shall be active almost instantaneously. If you are more experienced, you'll have a range of advanced options to pick from too - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) and many others. All the redirections shall be listed in exactly the same section, so whenever you do not need a particular one anymore, you are able to cancel it with a mouse click.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server solutions come with a very useful tool that'll provide you with an automated and simple way to redirect any of your domain addresses to a different URL. While this is normally done by creating a special file within the domain folder and by typing in specific content within it, our tool will allow you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the desired remote web address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection shall be enabled within seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you'll be able to pick a variety of more advanced options as well, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even forward a specific folder rather than the root domain. You shall be able to edit these settings anytime, and to delete an active redirection from the very same section where you have created it to start with.
