How do I create a frame or HTTP redirect?

Updated over 5 months ago

1 - Open Domain Manager Pro

First, switch to “Domain Manager Pro”. You can find this in the top menu under “Domain & E-Mail”:

TIP: If you do not see the Domain Manager Pro there, then you may not have authorization for the module. In this case, please speak to the terminal admin in your organization.

2 - Open domain details

After you have selected “My Domain” (see Fig. 2, P1) in the domain menu on the left, you will see a list of all your domains. Please search for the domain you want to forward. You can scroll through the table or use the search above.

Once you have found your domain, you can either click directly on the domain name (see Fig. 2, P2), or click on the far right on “Manage” -> “Show” (see Fig. 2, P3 & P4) to open it.

3 - Open domain forwardings

In the domain submenu, you will now find numerous setting options for your domain. One of them is domain forwarding (see Fig. 3, P1).

If you select this point, you can create a new forwarding on the right (see Fig. 3, P2).

First, you need to choose what type of forwarding you want to create – HTTP, HTTPS, or Frame.

4 - What is the difference between frame forwarding and HTTP forwarding?

But what is the difference between these forwarding types?

4.1 - HTTP-Forwarding

The HTTP forwarding is a forwarding in the sense of HTTP-statuscode “301 Moved Permanently”.

If, for example, www.example.com is entered in the address bar, the browser will redirect to the destination you entered, e.g. www.domain.tld.

www.domain.tld is displayed in the address bar.

  1. Select the first point “HTTP” in the mask.

  2. The desired subdomain can now be entered under “Redirect hostnames”. Some examples:

    Redirect www.example.com=> enter “www”

    Redirect example.com => enter “@”

    Redirect shop.example.com => enter “shop”

  3. Under “Forward to” you can select the desired protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) for the target page in the dropdown. Then please enter the domain name of the destination, e.g. www.domain.tld.

The forwarding is added by clicking the “Create” button.

4.2 - Frame-Forwarding

Frame redirect is a frameset redirect that shows the content of the page you’re redirecting to, while showing the original URL in the browser.

If, for example, www.example.com is entered in the address bar, then www.example.com is also displayed, but the browser shows the content of the entered destination in the background (e.g. www.domain.tld).

  1. Select the third point “Frame” in the mask.

  2. The desired subdomain can now be entered under “Redirect hostnames”. Some examples:

    Redirect www.example.com => enter “www”

    Redirect example.com => enter “@”

    Redirect shop.example.com => enter “shop”

  3. In the “Forward to” item, enter the page that is to be loaded and displayed in the background.

The forwarding is added by clicking the “Create” button.
