The Redirect service
We offer domain redirect (forwarding) as an additional service to the domain registration. It is primarily used for an easy redirection of a domain name to a specific URL. You can use this service for a domain without its own hosting, that you wish to redirect to another of your existing websites.
Redirect for one domain costs 3.30 € without VAT / year.
Domain MUST have our dns servers set up.
SEO aspect
The Redirect service is provided by redirection at the HTTP protocol level, with a 301 header (Permanent Redirect/Moved Permanently).
In terms of your site's search engine rankings, the advantage of this type of redirection is the passing of rankings to a new site (rankings are usually transferred if the search engine evaluates the pages as being the same or significantly similar in content). Similarly, links that led to the old redirect page should be credited to the new landing page. This will make it easier for the new page to get into the search engine results.
Redirect service can be ordered with the registration of a new domain or for already registered domain.
How to order Redirect when registering a new domain?
1.) place your domain order in the cart. After adding domain to the cart, you will see the first step of the registration.
2.) next to the Redirect option, select Configure (1. step)
3.) a field will appear to enter the destination address (2. step). It must be entered in a precise and correct format.
Once the registration is complete, the domain will be automatically forwarded to the specified URL.
How to order Redirect for an already registered domain?
2.) select the "Domains" section (1. step)
3.) select the domain for which you wish to order Redirect and click on the domain name (2. step). A new tab, with the domain details, will open.
4.) in the domain details select the Redirect tab (3. step)
5.) here, you will have an option to order required service - Order additional services (redirect) (4. step)
How to edit the destination address?
The domain and the entire service must be activated for later modification of the destination address. This option can be found in your customer account: domain section - domain name - Redirect tab.
Here you can edit the destination address at any time (domain needs to be active), via the "Change URL" button.
You can also turn the Redirect option off or back on. The change in settings will be reflected immediately. In the Redirect tab you can also see the date until which the service is paid for.
If you wish to order Redirect as an additional service, there are two available options for you to choose from. You will find them both in your User account:
1) Ordering Redirect as an additional service along with renewal of your domain for 1 year
You can get the Redirect service for free until the end of the current subscription period of your domain. With your next domain renewal the Redirect service fee will be added automatically to your invoice.
Example: Domain abcdf.tld expires on October 31st, 2014. You decide to take advantage of our special offer (option 1) and order Redirect together with the domain renewal for 1 year – i.e. until October 31st, 2015. In this case, you will have the Redirect service completely for free until October 31st, 2014 (domain expiration date). You will be charged for Redirect only for the period following the domain renewal date = from October 31st, 2014 – until October 31st, 2015.
2) Ordering Redirect as a separate supplement service
Select this option to purchase Redirect as an additional service from the date of your order until the domain expiration date. The domain will be not renewed for another period within this order, its expiration date will remain unchanged.
Example: Domain abcdf.tld expires on October 31st, 2014. You decide to buy Redirect as an additional services yet you are not interested in renewing your domain. In this case, the Redirect service will be charged as a separate additional service and its expiration date will coincide with the current expiration date of your domain. So, for example, if today is February 1st, 2014, and you order Redirect as a separate additional service, it will expire on the date of expiration of your domain abcdf.tld, i.e. on October 31st, 2014.
