When you have a few domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same site, you may have the Internet site under one of them and redirect the others. There are different approaches to forward one domain to another, among them the so-called domain parking. When your web 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 real difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. As an illustration, if you are building localized sites under various country-code domains, you'll be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be forwarded to the primary site.
URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting
If you host your Internet sites with our company and you have a shared web hosting package, you will be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the site visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative Internet address. This process takes several simple steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you can create a redirection even if you don't have any previous experience. You'll only have to choose a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the traffic have to be sent to. For more proficient users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection that you create could be deactivated from the very same section of the Control Panel, in case you don't need it anymore.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server solutions include a very useful tool which will supply you with an automated and simple way to redirect any of your domains to another URL. While this is in most cases done by creating a special file in the domain folder and by entering specific content in it, our tool will allow you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the desired remote web address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection shall be activated within seconds. In case you are more tech-savvy, you'll be able to choose a range of more advanced options as well, most notably the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You may even forward a specific folder rather than the root domain. You will be able to change these settings at any time, as well as to delete an active redirection from the same section where you have created it to begin with.
