URL redirection enables you to redirect targeted traffic from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain is hosted, meaning that you shall still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it will not be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you want to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. In case a website visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they shall be redirected to the existing website. In this way, you shall not miss customers while developing the localized sites.
URL Redirector in Website Hosting
We provide a handy and really simple-to-use tool for creating a URL redirection, so if you have a website hosting account with us, you can benefit from it, if needed. Any domain name or subdomain hosted inside the account may be forwarded, so you'll simply have to select the one you need from a drop-down menu, to choose if the main folder or a subfolder will be redirected and to type the new Internet address, regardless if it is pointing to a different Internet within your account or to a website on a remote web server. The redirection shall be activated almost immediately. If you are more skillful, you'll have a variety of advanced options to pick from also - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) and so forth. All the redirections shall be listed in the same section, so in case you do not require a certain one anymore, you'll be able to cancel it with a mouse click.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each semi-dedicated server package deal we provide will allow you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without difficulty. While this can be done manually by setting up a system file and by including specific content to it, we'll give you a user-friendly tool in which you will just need to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to type 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 advanced users can also make use of a couple of other customizable options, like the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). All of these options, as well as the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with a few clicks anytime. When you no longer need a redirection, you can delete it just as fast.
