Setup Domain Forwarding (stand-alone Domain)

You have the option of setting up a forwarding for your domain. You can create the forwarding directly in your Web & Mail Control Panel. There are two options, depending on whether your domain is linked to a hosting package or not:

• Set up domain forwarding (stand-alone domain)
• Set up domain forwarding (domain linked to hosting package)

In this article, you will learn how to set up forwarding for your stand-alone domains.

Note: Verify whether your domain is linked to a hosting or not.
Assigning a Domain to your Web Hosting
Set up Domain Forwarding (Domain Assigned to Hosting Package)

Sign in to the my.green.ch customer portal with your MY user and password.

Once you've successfully signed into your customer portal, click on All Domains under the section Shared Hosting.

Click on the magnifying glass icon to your left.

Then pick the option DNS Entries.

Note: A new tab automatically opens in your browser.

In the DNS management tab, you will find a navigation bar on the left-hand side with the following options:

• DNS Management
• DNS Security
• Domain Forwarding
• E-Mail Forwarding

Click on Domain Forwarding. 

Note: Some TLDs (Top Level Domains) do not offer the domain forwarding option.

There are 3 different radio buttons available in the Domain forwarding menu:

• Show domain parked notice
• Forward to another domain
• Use iFrame forwarding

To set up a forwarding for your domain, select the option  Forward to another domain.

Under Destination address, enter the desired URL to which your forwarding should lead. The destination address could look like this, for example:
http://green-beispiel-domain.ch

Note: Make sure that http:// is included at the beginning of your redirection target URL.

Note: If you do not plan to adjust or remove the redirect in the future, we recommend using the 301: Moved Permanently option. 

Note: Please note that the change may take up to 10-15 minutes to take effect.
