URL redirection permits you to redirect targeted traffic from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible provided that the domain address is hosted, and therefore you will still be able to create entirely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you have a website, for example, but you want to launch one or many localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any difficulty. If a visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be forwarded to the existing Internet site. This way, you shall not miss potential clients while developing the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

When you host your websites with our company and you have a web hosting package deal, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the site visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. The procedure takes several basic steps through an easy-to-use interface, so you could create a redirection even if you have no previous experience. You will only need to choose a domain name or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection will be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the website visitors must be sent to. For more proficient users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you set up can be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, if you don't require it anymore.
