If you have a number of domain names with different extensions and you would like all of them to open the exact same Internet site, you can have the Internet site under one of them and redirect all the rest. There are several ways to redirect one domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your website hosting package permits it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you can still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. For instance, if you're building localized websites under various country-code Internet domain names, you will be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be forwarded to the primary Internet site.
URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared website hosting plans, features a URL forwarding tool that will permit you to forward any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very simple - you need to choose a domain/subdomain and then type in the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You could also forward a certain subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect just the latter. The tool has complex options for more tech-savvy users as well, including the feature 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 may disable it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy any of our semi-dedicated plans, you'll get access to an efficient tool, which you can use to forward any domain hosted in the account with a few mouse clicks. The tool is an element of the advanced Hepsia Control Panel and may be used by both experienced users and novices. In case you have no previous experience, you could forward a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by typing or pasting the remote URL. If you're experienced, you can even decide if the type of the redirection should be permanent or temporary and if the method has to be direct or match. Each of these options may be modified at any time along with the URL, so you will not need to create a new redirection if you would like to change something. Needless to say, if you no longer want a certain domain or subdomain to be forwarded, you could delete the redirection without difficulty.
