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.
