In case you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same site, you can have the site under one of them and forward the rest. There are several ways to forward one Internet domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. If your hosting package deal allows it, though, it will be better if you host each of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you can still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of these things. As an example, if you're building localized sites under various country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people will be forwarded to the main site.

URL Redirector in Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, supplied with our Linux website hosting packages, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is very easy - you have to pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You can also redirect a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect just the latter. The tool has complex functions for more tech-savvy users as well, like the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer require a redirection, you could disable it with a mouse click from the same section of the CP.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will allow you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this can be performed manually by setting up a system file and by adding particular content to it, we'll give you a user-friendly tool in which you will simply have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will take care of what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more expert users can also make use of a few other customizable options, like the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, and even the URL a domain is redirected to, could be altered with a few mouse clicks whenever you want. When you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as easily.
