If you have a few domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open the very same Internet site, you may have the Internet site under one of them and forward the rest. There are a number of approaches to redirect one domain to another, like the so-called domain parking. If your web hosting package permits it, though, it'll be better if you host all the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, e-mail 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 websites under several country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people will be forwarded to the primary Internet site.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, included with our cloud hosting packages, provides a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is very simple - you must pick a domain/subdomain and then enter the URL it has to be redirected to. You could also redirect a specific subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you'll be able to forward just the latter. The tool has sophisticated features for more tech-savvy users also, such as the possibility to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you'll be able to deactivate it with a click from the same exact section of the CP.
