# Forward Domain (Beta)
|
||||
|
||||
This services forwards domains using 301 HTTP redirects.
|
||||
|
||||
Possible scenarios:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Forward non-www to www URLs or inversely
|
||||
+ Forward old URLs to new URLs
|
||||
|
||||
Why using this service?
|
||||
|
||||
+ No coding required
|
||||
+ No hosting required
|
||||
+ No registration required
|
||||
+ Completely anonymous
|
||||
+ Completely free
|
||||
|
||||
How it is possible?
|
||||
|
||||
+ Point your domain to us using CNAME or A/AAAA records
|
||||
+ Tell us where to forward using TXT records
|
||||
+ We handle HTTPS certificates for you
|
||||
|
||||
## Get Started
|
||||
|
||||
To forward from `www.old.com` to `old.com`, add these records to your DNS:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
old.com IN CNAME r.forwarddomain.net
|
||||
old.com IN TXT forward-domain=https://new.net/*
|
||||
old.com IN TXT forward-domain-cert-maintainer=<your email address>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> IMPORTANT: replace `<your email address>` with your email address!
|
||||
|
||||
Because CNAME can't be used in apex domains, you can use A/AAAA records.<br>
|
||||
To forward from `old.com` to `new.net`, add these records to your DNS:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
old.com IN A 206.189.61.89
|
||||
old.com IN AAAA 2a03:b0c0:3:d0::13a8:c001
|
||||
old.com IN TXT forward-domain=https://new.net/*
|
||||
old.com IN TXT forward-domain-cert-maintainer=<your email address>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> BETA service notice: IP addresses can change anytime (with notice).
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Why email address?
|
||||
|
||||
This is required in order to sign HTTPS certificates.<br>
|
||||
You can omit it but HTTPS redirects will not work.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is it really free?
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarding domains should be easy to setup.<br>
|
||||
I use this internally for [domcloud.io](https://domcloud.io).<br>
|
||||
|
||||
### How can I check redirects will work?
|
||||
|
||||
This service uses Google's [Public DNS Resolver](https://dns.google).<br>
|
||||
Once first accessed, values will be cached for a day.<br>
|
||||
For right now there's no way to flush the cache sorry.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why it loads slowly?
|
||||
|
||||
It only slow at first time because it has to sign HTTPS certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
### How can I support this service?
|
||||
|
||||
