Redirect a Domain

Send everyone who visits a domain to another address, for example an old domain to your new one.

Steps

  1. Open your hosting account → Domains.
  2. Click Redirect on the domain's row.
  3. Redirect to: the full destination, for example https://new-site.com.
  4. Type:
    • Permanent (301): the move is final. Search engines move rankings to the new address.
    • Temporary (302): for a short-term change, like a maintenance page.
  5. Keep the requested path: when ticked, /about goes to https://new-site.com/about. When not ticked, every page goes to the destination's home page.
  6. Redirect the www version too: when ticked, www. redirects as well.
  7. Click Save redirect.

Good to know

  • Your files stay in place. Click Remove redirect (or save with an empty address) and the site is back.
  • The destination must be an http:// or https:// address and can't be the domain itself.
  • The CDN may have cached the old pages. Use Clear the CDN Cache for Your Sites if visitors still see them.
