When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open exactly the same Internet site, you may have the Internet site under one of them and redirect the others. There are different ways to forward one domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package deal permits it, though, it will be better if you host each of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you could still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of these things. For example, if you are building localized websites under several country-code Internet domain names, you will be able to work on them, but meanwhile, people will be forwarded to the main website.

URL Redirector in Shared Hosting

If you host your websites with us and you have a shared hosting package deal, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the website visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another Internet address. The process takes a few easy steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you could set up a redirection even when you don't have any previous experience. You will only need to choose a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL where the website visitors have to be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you set up may be deactivated from the very same section of the Control Panel, in the event you do not require it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server plan that we provide will allow you to forward 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 certain content to it, we will provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will simply have to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more experienced 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). Each of these options, plus the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be changed with several mouse clicks whenever you want. When you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as easily.
