Forward Domain (Defunct, see #1)

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:

www.old.com   IN    CNAME   r.forwarddomain.net
www.old.com   IN    TXT     forward-domain=https://old.com/*
www.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.
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.
You can omit it but HTTPS redirects will not work.

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?
