When you have a few domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open the same site, you can have the Internet site under one of them and forward all the rest. There are several approaches to forward one Internet domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. If your web hosting package deal allows it, though, it will be better if you host all the domains and set up 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, e-mail addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of those things. For example, if you are building localized sites under several country-code domain names, you will be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people shall be forwarded to the primary website.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux shared hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account to any URL - within your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite uncomplicated - you have to choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it has to be forwarded to. You may also forward a specific subfolder only. As an example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward only the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users too, including the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you can deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers, you'll get access to an efficient tool, you can use to redirect any domain hosted in the account with several mouse clicks. The tool is an element of the innovative Hepsia Control Panel and can be used by both expert users and rookies. In case you have no previous experience, you could redirect a domain or a subdomain by selecting it and then by inputting or pasting the remote URL. In case you are more advanced, you can even decide if the type of the redirection must be permanent or temporary and if the method has to be direct or match. Each of these options could be changed at any time along with the URL, so you shall not need to set up a new redirection if you would like to change something. Naturally, when you no longer need a particular domain or subdomain to be redirected, you could delete the redirection with ease.
