DNS Redirect

What is DNS Redirect?

DNS Redirect lets you redirect any domain you own to another URL with automatic SSL certificate provisioning. It's perfect for:

  • Redirecting old domains to your new website
  • Creating branded short domains for marketing campaigns
  • Pointing multiple domains to a single destination
  • Setting up vanity URLs for easy-to-remember links

Key features

  • Automatic SSL — Free Let's Encrypt certificates provisioned automatically
  • Path forwarding — Optionally preserve URL paths in redirects
  • Query forwarding — Optionally preserve query strings
  • Analytics — Track how many times your redirect is accessed
  • 301 or 302 — Choose permanent or temporary redirects

How it works

  1. Add your domain and destination URL
  2. Verify domain ownership via DNS TXT record
  3. Point your domain to our servers
  4. We provision an SSL certificate automatically
  5. Your redirect goes live
