In case you have several domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open the exact same site, you can have the Internet site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are different approaches to forward one domain name to another, such as the so-called domain parking. If your hosting plan allows it, though, it will be better if you host all the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of these things. For instance, if you are building localized sites under different country-code domains, you will be able to work on them, but at the same time, visitors will be forwarded to the main website.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
When you host your websites with us and you have a shared hosting package deal, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different web address. The procedure takes a few easy steps via an easy-to-use interface, so you may create a redirection even in case you don't have any previous experience. You will only have to select a domain or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the traffic should be forwarded to. For more experienced users, there are also options to select the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding that you create may be deactivated from the same section of the CP, if you don't require it anymore.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each and every semi-dedicated server package we provide will permit you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be carried out manually by setting up a system file and by including certain content to it, we'll provide you with a user-friendly tool where you will only need to select the domain/subdomain in question and to input the remote address. Our system will take care of everything else, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection shall be completely active. The more experienced users may also make use of a couple of other customizable options, including the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Each of these options, along with the URL a domain is forwarded to, could be altered with several clicks at any time. When you no longer need a redirection, you can delete it just as quickly.
