Forward Domain

We're back with improvements! See CHANGES.md

This services forwards domains using 301 HTTP(s) 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:

www.old.com     IN    CNAME   r.forwarddomain.net
_.www.old.com   IN    TXT     forward-domain=https://old.com/*

Because CNAME can't be used in apex domains, you can use A/AAAA records.
To forward from old.com to new.net, add these records to your DNS:

old.com     IN    A       167.172.5.31
_.old.com   IN    TXT     forward-domain=https://new.net/*

FAQ

Is it really free?

Forwarding domains should be easy to setup.
I use this internally for domcloud.io.

How can I check redirects will work?

This service uses Google's Public DNS Resolver.
Once first accessed, values will be cached for a day.
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?
