URL redirection allows you to redirect site visitors from one Internet site to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is virtually unusable, a URL forwarding is possible only if the domain name is hosted, and therefore you shall still be able to set up completely functional subdomains and e-mail addresses or even to have content for the domain address in question, though it will not be accessible directly. If you have an Internet site, for example, but you would like to launch one or several localized Internet sites for different towns or countries, you will be able to work on them with no problem. If a visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they will be redirected to the existing website. In this way, you will not miss potential customers while developing the localized Internet sites.

If you host your sites with our company and you have a website hosting package deal, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the traffic from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative Internet address. The task takes a few simple steps through an intuitive interface, so you could create a redirection even if you have no previous experience. You will simply have to choose a domain name or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL to which the visitors must be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection you set up could be deactivated from the exact same section of the Control Panel, if you do not need it anymore.
