URL Forwarding One-click Service

Last updated

Table of Contents

The URL Forwarding one-click service sends visitors from your domain apex and www to another URL. It adds two URL records, which the DNSimple Redirector uses to redirect each request.

Add the URL Forwarding service

To add the URL Forwarding service
  1. From the domain list, click the domain name.
  2. Click the tab on the left side.

  3. In the card, click , or if the domain already has a service.

    One-click services card on the DNS page with an arrow pointing to Add

  4. Click the tab, and click next to URL Forwarding.

    Infrastructure tab with an arrow pointing to Add for URL Forwarding

  5. In , enter the full address, including http:// or https://, such as https://example.net.
  6. Click .

Forward HTTPS requests

The redirect only works over HTTPS when the domain has an SSL certificate that covers the address the visitor typed. Without one, http://example.com redirects, but https://example.com shows a certificate error. Issue an SSL certificate in DNSimple for the apex and www. See HTTPS redirects.

To remove the service later, see Remove a one-click service.
