Create or remove a website redirect Print

A redirect sends visitors from one website address to another. It is different from a DNS change.

Steps

1. Open Site Redirection for the source domain.
2. Enter the source path and complete destination URL.
3. Use a temporary redirect while testing. Choose a permanent redirect only when the move is intended to be lasting.
4. Save and test the source address. To remove the redirect, select the matching entry and remove it, then test in a fresh browser session.

Good to know

Avoid loops in which the destination redirects back to the source. Browsers and search engines can cache permanent redirects. If a redirect remains after removal, check the application and any proxy rules as well.
