URL redirection permits you to forward site visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain name by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain address is hosted, and thus you shall still be able to set up fully functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you currently have an Internet site, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or a variety of localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. When a visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be redirected to the existing Internet site. In this way, you will not miss customers while creating the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

If you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a shared hosting plan, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the site visitors from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative Internet address. This process takes a number of basic steps via an intuitive interface, so you can create a redirection even if you don't have any previous experience. You will simply have to pick a domain name or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the traffic must be redirected to. For more proficient users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding which you set up may be deactivated from the same section of the Control Panel, when you don't require it anymore.
