When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same website, you can have the site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are a number of approaches to forward one Internet domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. If your web hosting package deal allows it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you could still have content for it, create subdomains, e mail addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. As an example, if you're building localized Internet sites under different country-code domains, you'll be able to work on them, but in the meantime, visitors will be redirected to the main site.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
If 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 redirect the site visitors from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. The procedure takes several basic steps through an easy-to-use interface, so you could set up a redirection even if you have no previous experience. You will simply have to choose a domain name or a subdomain via a drop-down list, to select the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the traffic must be sent to. For more proficient users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any forwarding you create can be deactivated from the same section of the CP, when you do not require it anymore.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Every semi-dedicated server package that we offer will permit you to redirect any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL effortlessly. While this can be performed manually by creating a system file and by including specific content to it, we will supply you with a user-friendly tool where you will only have to choose the domain/subdomain in question and to type in the remote address. Our system will handle what's left, so a couple of seconds later the new redirection will be fully active. The more expert users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, including the option to select the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). These options, and the URL a domain is forwarded to, may be modified with several clicks anytime. In case you no longer require a redirection, you could delete it just as fast.
