URL redirection permits you to forward targeted traffic from one Internet site to another. In contrast to redirecting a domain name by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only when the domain is hosted, consequently you'll still be able to create 100% functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain name in question, although it shall not accessible directly. If you already have a site, for example, but you want to launch one or several localized websites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no difficulty. In case a visitor opens any of the new domain names, however, they'll be redirected to the existing website. This way, you won't miss potential clients while developing the localized websites.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
If you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a shared hosting package deal, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the traffic from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. This process takes several easy steps via an intuitive interface, so you can set up a redirection even if you have zero previous experience. You'll simply need to pick a domain or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to pick the folder in which the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type in the URL where 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 which you create can be deactivated from the very same section of the CP, in case you don't require it anymore.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our system will handle the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be completely active. The more experienced users may also make use of a few other customizable options, like the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary).
