Redirecting a domain


Domain redirection, also called URL redirection, is a technique for making a website available under multiple URLs. It allows you to automatically send a visitor of your domain name to another website.

For instance, if a visitor types mydomain.com in the address bar of the browser, and you have set up a domain redirection to anotherdomain.com, the visitor will automatically be sent to anotherdomain.com and the browser will display anotherdomain.com.

Redirections can be both permanent or temporary.

How to redirect a domain

  1. Click Products in the top menu.

  2. Select the domain from the drop-down menu.

  3. Click Domain and then Forwarding.

  4. In the Redirect panel, select the host you would like to use in the corresponding drop-down list. If you have previously registered A or CName records in your zone file, those will appear listed here. If not, the host www will appear as the default.

  5. Select whether you would like to use a http or https protocol in the corresponding drop-down list.

  6. In the Destination field, enter the URL address to which you want to forward your domain.

  7. In the Type drop-down list, select whether the redirect is going to be temporary or permanent.

  8. Click Add.

The redirect has now been set up and the visitors of your domain will be redirected to the destination you have specified.

Tip! You can also Edit and Remove existing forwards by clicking the respective links in the Actions column.
