Redirect Manager

The Redirect Manager (available ONLY with our Linux Hosting Packages) in your Control Panel gives you the ability to seamlessly forward requests for any local folder, sub-folder or file on your website to another Domain name, URL or IP address. For example, if you want http://www.your-domain-name.com/somepath to redirect to http://www.some-other-domain.com, then you can use the Redirect Manager to define a rule for this. It is very easy-to-use, and allows you to add as many such web forwarding rules as you want.

Note

In order to complete the action, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, each one of the above mentioned actions might take upto 20 minutes to be effective.
