How can I setup a Redirect?

Conversely, if you are temporarily redirecting due to rebuilding your site, it's crucial to determine whether a "301" or "302" redirect is necessary. You can implement a domain redirect in two ways.

• Click "Add."
• Once in the Value-Added Services page select the option to Redirect my domain to an existing URL.
• Type in or "paste" the URL you would like to redirect to and select one of the options:

  • 301 permanent redirect
• At the bottom click Preview Changes then Confirm Changes

Adding a redirect may not work immediately. Making changes to your domain's DNS could take 24-48 hours to finish propagating. If you find your domain is not redirecting properly after that period of time, please contact us for further support.
