When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same site, you could have the website under one of them and redirect the rest. There are various methods to forward one domain name to another, including the so-called domain parking. When your website 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 real difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you could still have content for it, create subdomains, e-mail addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of these things. As an example, if you are building localized Internet sites under various country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but at the same time, visitors will be redirected to the main site.

URL Redirector in Shared Web Hosting

Our company offers a handy and incredibly simple-to-use tool for creating a URL forwarding, so if you have a shared web hosting account with us, you can take full advantage of it, if necessary. Any domain or subdomain hosted within the account could be redirected, so you'll just need to select the one you need from a drop-down menu, to choose if the main folder or a subfolder shall be forwarded and to input the new Internet address, no matter whether it is pointing to a different site in your account or to a website on a remote hosting server. The forwarding will be enabled almost immediately. If you are more experienced, you'll have a range of advanced options to choose from also - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) and so forth. All redirections will be listed in exactly the same section, so when you don't require a certain one anymore, you may cancel it with a click.

URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans feature a very handy tool which will provide you with an automated and simple way to redirect any of your domain addresses some other URL. While this is usually done by setting up a special file within the domain folder and by typing specific content inside it, our tool will allow you to select a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to input the desired remote Internet address. Our system will do the rest and the redirection will be enabled in just seconds. If you are more tech-savvy, you'll be able to select a range of more advanced options as well, including the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can also redirect a certain folder rather than the root domain. You'll be able to change these settings at any time, and even to delete an active redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it to begin with.
