URL Redirector
Curious what a URL Redirector is and just how URL redirection functions as a whole?
In case you have a few domain names with different extensions and you would like all of them to open the exact same site, you could have the website under one of them and forward all the rest. There are a number of methods to redirect one Internet domain name to another, such as the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package permits it, though, it'll be better if you host each of the domains and create 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, set up subdomains, email addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain you can't do any of these things. As an illustration, if you are building localized sites under several country-code Internet domain names, you'll be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people will be redirected to the main Internet site.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
If you host your websites with us and you have a cloud hosting package, 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 an alternative Internet address. The process takes a few simple steps through an easy-to-use interface, so you can create a redirection even in case you have no previous experience. You will simply have to pick a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to type the URL to which the traffic should be forwarded to. For more experienced users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you set up can be deactivated from the very same section of the CP, when you do not need it anymore.
