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.
