If you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you would like all of them to open the same Internet site, you could have the Internet site under one of them and forward the others. There are several approaches to redirect one domain to another, such as the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan allows it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you can still have content for it, set up subdomains, e mail addresses, etc., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. As an illustration, if you are building localized Internet sites under different country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but in the meantime, visitors will be forwarded to the primary website.

URL Redirector in Web Hosting

We provide a handy and really simple-to-use tool for creating a URL forwarding, so if you have a web hosting account with our company, you can take full advantage of it, if necessary. Any domain address or subdomain hosted inside the account can be redirected, so you will simply have to pick the one you need from a drop-down menu, to decide if the primary folder or a subfolder will be forwarded and to type the new web address, regardless if it's pointing to a different Internet inside your account or to a site on a remote web server. The forwarding will be activated almost immediately. If you're more skillful, you will have a range of advanced options to select from too - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) etc. All the 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 mouse click.
