URL Redirector

Curious about what a URL Redirector is and the way URL redirection functions in general?

URL redirection enables you to redirect visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only when the domain address is hosted, meaning that 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 already have a website, for example, but you would like to launch one or a number of localized sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them without a problem. If a visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they'll be redirected to the existing site. This way, you won't miss potential clients while creating the localized sites.

URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting

If you host your websites with our company and you have a shared web hosting package, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the traffic from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. The process takes a few basic steps via an intuitive interface, so you may set up a redirection even when you don't have any previous experience. You'll only have to choose a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL where the site visitors must be forwarded to. For more proficient users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you create can be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, if you do not need it anymore.
