If you have a number of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same website, you could have the site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are several ways to redirect one Internet domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan allows it, though, it'll be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you could still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of those things. For instance, if you are building localized Internet sites under various country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but at the same time, people shall be redirected to the main Internet site.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux cloud hosting, includes a URL forwarding 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 quite easy - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then input the URL it should be forwarded to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward just the latter. The tool has advanced features for more tech-savvy users also, including the possibility to select the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you are able to disable it with a click from the same section of the Control Panel.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each semi-dedicated server plan we offer will enable you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL without any difficulty. While this can be performed manually by creating a system file and by adding specific content to it, we'll offer you a user-friendly tool where you will only have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will handle the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more expert users could also make use of a couple of other customizable options, like the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, plus the URL a domain is redirected to, could be modified with just a few mouse clicks anytime. When you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as fast.
