How to Forward A Domain
Domain forwarding allows you to redirect traffic from one domain to another.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to forward your domain:
Step-by-Step Guide to Domain Forwarding
- Log In to Your Domain Registrar: Sign in to the account where your domains are registered (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
- Access Domain Management: Go to the domain management section of your account. This is usually found under “My Domains” or a similar tab.
- Select the Domain: Choose the domain you want to forward.
- Find Forwarding Settings: Look for the domain forwarding options. This might be labeled as “Forwarding” or “URL Redirects.”
- Enter the Destination URL: Enter the URL of the website you want to redirect your domain to. For example, if you want to forward DACAattorney.com to your main website, enter the URL of your main website.
- Choose Forwarding Type: Select the type of forwarding you want to use:
-
- Permanent (301): This is recommended for SEO as it tells search engines the redirect is permanent.
- Temporary (302): Use this if the redirect is temporary.
7. Save Changes: Save your settings and wait for the changes to propagate, which can take up to 24-48 hours.
