There are a number of ways to forward traffic from one domain/website to another. The so-called URL redirection is commonly preferred. In contrast to parking a domain address, a URL redirection is feasible only if the domain name in question is hosted. What this means basically is that you can still open any content in case you have a direct link to it and you could create e-mail addresses or subdomains and use them. Such a feature has lots of practical uses - if you choose to switch your domain name, you can redirect the visitors, but the emails with the old one shall still be active if you are making contact with clients or partners. When you have two similar sites and you want to rebuild one of them, you can forward the website visitors to the other website to prevent losing potential clients, while you shall still be able to access the administration area for the first Internet site and develop it.

When you host your websites with us and you have a hosting package, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the site visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. The procedure takes a few easy steps through an user-friendly interface, so you could create a redirection even in case you have zero previous experience. You will only have to select a domain name or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to choose the folder where the redirection will be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the visitors have to be sent to. For more advanced users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection that you create could be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, in case you do not need it anymore.
