If you have several domains with different extensions and you need all of them to open the same website, you can have the website under one of them and forward the rest. There are various ways to forward one domain name to another, such as the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package permits it, though, it'll be better if you host all of 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 can still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you can't do any of those things. As an illustration, if you're building localized Internet sites under various country-code domains, you will be able to work on them, but in the meantime, visitors will be redirected to the primary website.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia CP, which comes with our Linux cloud hosting, includes a URL redirection tool which will allow you to redirect any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Setting up a new redirection is quite simple - you must choose a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it needs to be forwarded to. You may also forward a specific subfolder only. As an illustration, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you may redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users as well, such as the feature to pick the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so forth. If you no longer need a redirection, you could disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the CP.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages include a very useful tool that will supply you with an automated and easy way to forward any of your domain addresses some other URL. While this is normally done by creating a special file in the domain folder and by typing in specific content inside it, our tool will permit you to choose a domain/subdomain from a drop-down list and to type in the preferred remote web address. Our system shall do the rest and the redirection shall be activated within seconds. If you're more tech-savvy, you can choose a number of more advanced options also, among them the redirection method (direct, match) and the redirection type (temporary, permanent). You can even redirect a certain folder rather than the root domain. You will be able to edit these settings at any time, and also to delete an existing redirection from the same exact section in which you have created it from the start.
