URL redirection enables you to forward site visitors from one site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain name is hosted, and thus you will still be able to set up fully functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, even though it will not be accessible directly. If you currently have a site, for instance, but you'd like to launch one or a number of localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without any problem. In case a site visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they shall be sent to the existing website. That way, you shall not miss potential clients while developing the localized websites.
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 and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. This process takes a few basic steps through an intuitive interface, so you can create a redirection even in case you don't have previous experience. You'll simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the visitors should be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to select the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you create may be deactivated from the exact same section of the Control Panel, in case you don't require it anymore.
