When you have a few domains with different extensions and you would like all of them to open exactly the same Internet site, you can have the Internet site under one of them and forward the others. There are a number of approaches to redirect one domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. If your hosting package deal allows it, though, it shall be better if you host all of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you could still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of those things. For example, if you are building localized Internet sites under different country-code domain names, you'll be able to work on them, but in the meantime, visitors will be redirected to the primary website.

URL Redirector in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our Linux hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - in your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very uncomplicated - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it needs to be redirected to. You may also forward a particular subfolder only. For example, if you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may forward only the latter. The tool has sophisticated options for more tech-savvy users too, including the feature to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, etc. If you no longer need a redirection, you are able to deactivate it with a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel.
