HTTP Redirect — DNS-powered redirects

HTTP Redirect provides a service that will redirect any domain or subdomain using only DNS records. Point your hostname at this service, add a corresponding TXT record describing the destination URL, and redirects are served automatically.

STEP 1 Point your domain at this server

Create a CNAME or A / AAAA records for the domain you want to redirect:

# CNAME
www.your-domain.com.    IN  CNAME  http-redirect.com.
# or A / AAAA records
your-domain.com.        IN  A      5.161.17.225
your-domain.com.        IN  AAAA   2a01:4ff:f2:f9c1::1

STEP 2 Add a TXT record with the destination

Create a TXT record prefixed with _redirect on the same domain, containing the target URL:

_redirect.www.your-domain.com.  IN  TXT  "https://www.new-domain.com"

_redirect.your-domain.com.      IN  TXT  "https://new-domain.com"

DNS changes may take a few minutes to propagate.

Status codes

By default, redirects use temporary — 302 for standard requests and 307 for form submissions and API calls. Append a keyword or numeric code to the TXT record value to change it.

Dynamic redirects

Preserve hostname labels, paths, query strings and other request details by including placeholders such as {uri} or {path}{?query} in the target URL.
