To forward an existing domain name to a new address, you can follow these steps:
Redirect is done with either embedding the code in a webpage or just linking to the app via a standard hyper link.
You need a web hosting account to be able to embed the code.
1. Log in to your domain registrar's account. This is the company where you registered your domain name.
2. Locate the domain name you want to forward and select it.
3. Look for an option called "Domain Forwarding" or "URL Forwarding" in the domain settings or management section.
4. Click on the option to set up forwarding.
5. Enter the new address or URL where you want the domain to be forwarded to. Make sure to include the "http://" or "https://" prefix.
6. Choose the type of forwarding you want to set up. There are typically two options: "Permanent" (301 redirect) or "Temporary" (302 redirect). A permanent redirect is recommended for search engine optimisation purposes.
7. Save the changes and wait for the changes to propagate. It may take a few minutes to a few hours for the forwarding to take effect.
Note: The specific steps may vary depending on your domain registrar. If you're unsure about how to forward your domain, you can contact your registrar's customer support for assistance.
