Hi,

I am on windows hosting, can i redirect my website ?

HI,

you can redirect the website from control panel while creating it or if you have already created we have ISAPI rewrite installed on the server

HI Chris,

I have created the website already. so i think i should redirect it using ISAPI rewrite. Is this option avaiable in plesk control panel ?

BoD - Chris · #4 (**permalink**) 03-30-11, 17:06

Hi,

Nope this option is not avaiable in plesk control panel. you will have to code the rules in .htaccess file and upload that file.

Sorry to be pain chris!
but you have mentioned that you can redirect domain from control panel , how about that ?

BoD - Chris · #10 (**permalink**) 03-30-11, 17:16

Hi,

You can log into your control panel, and at the time of creating a new domain, you can specify the hosting as

Standard forwarding
# To provide the standard domain forwarding, select Standard forwarding. Standard Forwarding redirects a domain to a different URL with the destination URL appearing in the browser address window. Web content is stored somewhere outside Plesk. Later the hosting plan can be upgraded from forwarding hosting type to physical hosting.

Frame forwarding
# To provide the frame domain forwarding, select Frame forwarding. Frame Forwarding redirects a domain to a different URL while keeping the original domain name in the browser address window. Web content is stored somewhere outside Plesk. Later the hosting plan can be upgraded from forwarding hosting type to physical hosting.

But can i use two hosting types at a time for the domain ?

BoD - Chris · #12 (**permalink**) 03-30-11, 17:18

Nope, plesk doesn't allow that, you can use either one of the three hosting type.

So will the emails be redirected if i select Frame forwarding ?

BoD - Chris · #14 (**permalink**) 03-30-11, 17:21

Nope, the emails will go, where you have pointed your email server.
Frame forwarding is for redirecting the webpages and not emails.
