When you have a number of domains with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same site, you can have the site under one of them and redirect the others. There are several methods to redirect one domain name to another, like the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan allows it, though, it shall 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 address is hosted, you could still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of these things. As an illustration, if you are building localized websites under different country-code domain names, you will be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people will be forwarded to the primary site.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

When you host your sites with our company and you have a cloud hosting package, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the visitors from any domain name and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to a different Internet address. The process takes a few simple steps through an user-friendly interface, so you may create a redirection even if you have no previous experience. You will only need to choose a domain address or a subdomain through a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection shall be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the visitors have to be redirected to. For more experienced users, there are also options to pick the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection which you set up could be deactivated from the same exact section of the Control Panel, in case you don't need it anymore.
