In case you have a number of domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open exactly the same website, you can have the site under one of them and redirect the others. There are a number of approaches to forward one domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan allows it, though, it shall be better if you host all the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you can still have content for it, set up subdomains, e-mail addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of these things. As an example, if you are building localized websites under various country-code domains, you'll be able to work on them, but meanwhile, people shall be forwarded to the primary website.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our cloud hosting, features a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is incredibly simple - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it has to be forwarded to. You could also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you are able to redirect just the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the option to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you can disable it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server solutions feature a very useful tool which will offer you an automated and simple way to redirect any of your domains some other URL. While this is typically done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by inputting specific content inside it, our tool will enable you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the desired remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding shall be active within seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you'll be able to choose a range of more advanced options also, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also redirect a certain folder instead of the root domain. You will be able to edit these settings at any time, and to delete an existing redirection from the very same section in which you have created it to begin with.
