When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open the exact same Internet site, you may have the site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are various methods to redirect one Internet domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your hosting package permits it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you could still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. For example, if you're building localized Internet sites under different country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors will be redirected to the primary site.

URL Redirector in Hosting

When you host your sites with our company and you have a hosting package, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the visitors from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different web address. The task takes a few easy steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you can set up a redirection even when you don't have any previous experience. You will simply have to choose a domain address or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type in the URL to which the visitors should be sent to. For more experienced users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you set up could be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, when you do not require it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans feature a very convenient tool which will supply you with an automated and easy way to redirect any of your domains to an alternative URL. While this is usually done by creating a special file within the domain folder and by typing specific content in it, our tool will permit you to pick a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type the preferred remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection will be active in seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you can pick a variety of more advanced options as well, such as the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may also forward a particular folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings whenever you want, and to delete an existing redirection from the same section where you have created it to begin with.
