If you have several domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same site, you can have the site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are different ways to redirect one domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your website hosting plan 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 main difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, etc., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of those things. As an illustration, if you're building localized Internet sites under various country-code domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be redirected to the primary Internet site.
URL Redirector in Hosting
We provide a handy and incredibly simple-to-use tool for creating a URL redirection, so if you have a hosting account with our company, you can take advantage of it, if needed. Any domain or subdomain hosted in the account can be redirected, so you'll simply have to choose the one you need from a drop-down menu, to choose if the primary folder or a subfolder will be redirected and to type in the new Internet address, no matter if it's pointing to a different site inside your account or to an Internet site on a remote hosting server. The forwarding will be enabled almost immediately. If you are more knowledgeable, you'll have a number of advanced options to choose from too - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) and many others. All the redirections shall be listed in the exact same section, so whenever you do not need a specific one anymore, you may cancel it with a mouse click.
URL Redirector in Semi-dedicated Servers
Every semi-dedicated server plan we provide will permit you to forward any host (domain or subdomain) to a third-party URL with ease. While this can be carried out manually by creating a system file and by adding particular content to it, we will supply you with a user-friendly tool where you will only have to select the domain/subdomain in question and to enter the remote address. Our system will take care of the rest, so a few seconds later the new redirection will be completely active. The more knowledgeable users could also make use of a number of other customizable options, such as the option to pick the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary). Any of these options, and even the URL a domain is forwarded to, can be altered with several mouse clicks anytime. In case you no longer need a redirection, you'll be able to delete it just as fast.
