Redirect a domain or page
Send visitors to a new address with the appropriate permanent or temporary redirect.
Where Tools → Domains → Redirects
Before you start
- Know the exact source domain/path and complete destination URL.
- Check existing application or .htaccess redirects to avoid conflicting rules.
Steps
-
1
Open Redirects and choose Type: Permanent (301) for a lasting move, or Temporary (302) when the move should not be treated as permanent.
-
2
Select the source domain under https?://(www.)?. Avoid the all-domains option unless you intend to affect every domain.
-
3
In the path box after the domain, enter the page or folder to redirect. Leave it empty to target the selected domain’s root.
-
4
Enter the complete destination in Redirects to, including https:// and any required path.
-
5
Click Add and review Current Redirects. To change a rule, use the available edit/remove workflow carefully and retest; a browser may cache a permanent redirect.
-
6
Choose how www should be handled. Wild Card Redirect preserves the corresponding path at the destination; leave it off for a single fixed destination.
Set source, destination, www behaviour and wildcard handling before Add.
Check it worked
- Test the exact source URL, its www/non-www variation and a subpage if wildcard forwarding is intended.
- Check that the destination does not redirect back to the source. Use a private window if a previous permanent redirect is cached.
