Manage Domain Forwarding in Domain Control Panel

Customers who purchase domain in HostEase may want to know how they can make domain forwarding. Now I will share this function with you all.

First, let’s log into your domain control panel via https://dcp.hostease.com. Choose the domain you want to manage if you have multiple domains here . If this is the first time for you to login to this panel, you should click “Forget password”. Then the system willl send a temporary password to you. But make sure you modify this password to a new one in dcp later because this is a temporary password and it will expire in 3days.

Then choose the domain that needs to be forwarded and click the button named “Manage Domain Forwarding” under “Domain Forwarding”. You can make domain forwarding here. Destination means the website that you wish to forward requests for your domain. Let’s take domain “hostease.com” for example. If we want to forward this domain to hostease.com/blog in its domain control panel, we choose http and fill in hostease.com/blog on the right blank below “Destination” and click “Save” button. The url http://hostease.com will be redirected to https://hostease.com/blog when someone try to access hostease.com after this. Please note that two A record for your domain with and without www will be generated at this time. These two domains will be pointed to 173.193.106.10——the default forwarding DNS server’s address.

You will also see several options below: URL Masking / Stealth Redirection / URL Hiding、Sub Domain Forwarding and Path Forwarding. Enabling URL masking will ensure that your visitors see the source URL and not the destination URL. Enabling Sub Domain Forwarding will forward a request made to https://subdomain.hostease.com to http://yourdestinationurl/subdomain/Enabling Path Forwarding will forward requests made to http://hostease.com/some/path to http://yourdestinationurl/some/path.

To sum up, I think now you will know how to manage domain forwarding clearly. When you want to achieve this function, please take this passage as a reference.
