URL redirection enables you to redirect targeted traffic from one website to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain address is hosted, and thus you shall still have the ability to create completely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, although it will not be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for instance, but you need to launch one or several localized sites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without a problem. In case a site visitor opens any of the new domains, however, they'll be redirected to the existing Internet site. That way, you shall not miss potential customers while developing the localized websites.

URL Redirector in Shared Website Hosting

When you host your sites with us and you have a shared website hosting plan, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward 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 number of simple steps via an intuitive interface, so you could create a redirection even in case you have no previous experience. You will only need to pick a domain or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type in the URL to which the website visitors must be sent 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 set up can be deactivated from the same section of the Control Panel, if you don't need it anymore.
