In case you have several domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same Internet site, you can have the site under one of them and forward the others. There are several methods to redirect one Internet domain name to another, such as the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan allows it, though, it will be better if you host each of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, e mail addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of those things. As an example, if you're building localized Internet sites under several country-code domains, you'll be able to work on them, but at the same time, people will be forwarded to the primary Internet site.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

If you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a cloud hosting package, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the traffic from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another Internet address. This process takes several simple steps through an easy-to-use interface, so you could set up a redirection even if you have no previous experience. You will simply need to pick a domain name or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the site visitors must be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you set up may be deactivated from the very same section of the Control Panel, if you don't need it anymore.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans feature a very handy tool that will provide you with an automated and simple way to forward any one of your domain names some other URL. While this is in most cases done by setting up a special file inside the domain folder and by entering specific content inside it, our tool will enable you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to enter the desired remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the forwarding shall be active in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you may pick a variety of more advanced options too, particularly the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even forward a certain folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to modify these settings whenever you want, and even to delete an existing redirection from the very same section in which you have created it initially.
