URL redirection allows you to forward traffic from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain by parking it when the domain is sort of unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain is hosted, and therefore you'll still be able to create 100% functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it shall not accessible directly. If you already have an Internet site, for instance, but you would like to launch one or several localized sites for different towns or countries, you'll be able to work on them without any problem. When a website visitor opens any one of the new domain names, however, they'll be forwarded to the existing Internet site. This way, you shall not miss customers while creating the localized sites.

If you host your sites with our company and you have a shared hosting package deal, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the website visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different web address. The procedure takes just a few simple steps via an user-friendly interface, so you could create a redirection even when you have no previous experience. You'll only have to select a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to pick the folder in which the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the visitors must be sent to. For more proficient users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you set up can be deactivated from the exact same section of the Control Panel, in the event you don't require it anymore.

Our system shall do the rest and the redirection shall be activated in seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you can choose a range of more advanced options as well, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent).

You shall 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 to start with.
