URL redirection allows you to redirect site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain address by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL redirection is possible provided that the domain is hosted, and therefore you will still have the ability to create completely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it shall not accessible directly. If you already have a site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or a variety of localized sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them with no difficulty. When a website visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they shall be redirected to the existing website. This way, you shall not miss customers while developing the localized Internet sites.
URL Redirector in Hosting
If you host your websites with us and you have a hosting package, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. The task takes just a few easy steps through an intuitive interface, so you can set up a redirection even in case you don't have any previous experience. You'll only need to choose a domain or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to choose the folder in which the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the site visitors should be sent to. For more experienced users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you create may be deactivated from the very same section of the CP, if you do not require it anymore.
