URL redirection allows you to redirect visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain address by parking it when the domain is practically unusable, a URL forwarding is possible provided that the domain address is hosted, and therefore you'll still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and e mail addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, though it shall not accessible directly. If you currently have a website, for example, but you want to launch one or several localized sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without any difficulty. In case a site visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they shall be redirected to the existing Internet site. That way, you'll not miss customers while building the localized Internet sites.
URL Redirector in Hosting
If you host your websites with our company and you have a hosting package, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the site visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. The process takes a number of easy steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you could create a redirection even in case you have zero previous experience. You will simply need to select a domain or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to pick the folder in which the redirection will be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the website visitors must be redirected 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 set up could be deactivated from the very same section of the CP, if you do not need it anymore.

Our system will handle what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be fully active. The more advanced users can also make use of a number of other customizable options, like the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, and the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be changed with several mouse clicks at any time. In case you no longer need a redirection, you may delete it just as fast.
