Or set the web server in a DMZ on a different routed interface and subnet to make it much much cleaner and easier to deal with.
While this is technically possible, you are going to run into one main issue. How will you determine that someone has visited your web server, and what constitutes them having looked at it? A ton of programs use HTTP to grab information before someone even opens a browser, such as a weather widget. Just because an HTTP request was redirected doesn’t mean someone visited the web site and saw what you wanted them to.
You can redirect an HTTP request to a server and add them to an address list if they have gone to a certain IP, but you have no way of knowing what program made that request and if the end user did indeed see the web site you wanted them to. Also how will you determine if it’s time to redirect them again?
The hotspot works great for this since a client needs to launch their web browser before they can pass any traffic, and they have to click on something to get signed in. Since it’s a user initiated action, you then know that they have seen what you wanted them to see.
thnx alot for ur help
so … how can i use " user-manager " to control Hot Spot ?
User Manager is basically just a Radius server that can run on top of MikroTik.

You can use most any Radius server you want as long as it has the MikroTik definition file so it knows what attributes it can use. We have our own back end system that uses Steel Belted Radius, and several people on the forum use Free Radius.
If you go the way of a hotspot you can also just use local authentication. That just gets unseemly to manage the more locations you have running that way.
thank you at all
