Domains: how to set up a url redirect for a domain

To set up a URL redirect using Epycbyte's Advanced DNS tab, follow these organized steps:

1. Access Advanced DNS Settings:

   • Click on the "Manage" button in your account and navigate to the Advanced DNS tab.

2. Create a New Record:

   • Go to the Host records section and click "Add New Record."

3. Select Record Type:

   • From the drop-down menu, choose "URL Redirect Record."

4. Configure Host and Destination URL:

   • In the Host field, enter the host you want to redirect (e.g., @ for the root domain, www for a subdomain).
   • In the Value field, input the destination URL (e.g., https://www.example.com).

5. Set Redirect Type:

   • Use the drop-down menu to select "301" for a permanent redirect or "Unmasked" if needed.

6. Save Changes:

   • After configuring, click "Save" to implement the redirect.

7. Check for Conflicts:

   • Review existing records (A, CNAME, ALIAS) for conflicts with the same host. Remove any conflicting entries.

8. Monitor and Support:

   • Note that an A record will be added by Epycbyte, which is temporary.
   • Contact Support if issues arise or for further assistance.
