Webforwarding: redirecting your domain to another url

A web forwarding redirects your domain name or subdomain to another website.
In this article you can read how to create a web forward for your domain name.

Changes to DNS-records and webforwards will only take effect after 1 to 4 hours

Step 1: Delete existing A- and AAAA-recrods

Because a web forward cannot co-exist with A-record and AAAA-records, you must first delete these.

Follow these steps in the control panel

1. At the top, choose ‘My Products’> ‘DNS & Forwarding management’ and click on the “Manage DNS” button to the right of the domain for which you want to set up a web forward.
2. Click on “A-records” in the menu on the left. You see a list with all A-records that belong to this domain name.
3. Delete the A-records for your domain with and without www.
   Ex. domeinnaam.com and www.domeinnaam.com
4. Click on “AAAA-records” in the menu on the left and delete your AAAA-records in the same way.
   
   

Step 2: Set the web forwarding

Follow these steps in the control panel

1. At the top, choose ‘My Products’> ‘DNS & Forwarding management’ and click on the “Manage DNS” button to the right of the domain for which you want to set up a web forward.
2. Click on “Webforwarding” in the menu on the left.
3. Leave the field “Web forwarding” empty if you wish to forward your domain itself.
   Or fill in “www” if you wish to forward your domain with www.
4. Enter the “destination” field with the url to which your domain should refer, eg “https://ninefortwo.com” ( Note that the “http: //” or “https: //” must be present).
5. Click on “Add web forwarding” to finish
   
   

Tip: set up a webforward for your domain with and without www so the web forward will work in both cases.
You can also set up other subdomain sush as “mijn.domeinnaam.com” for ex.
