Question forwarding

Lisa95 · Jul 29, 2021

hello, I have a doubt.
I need to redirect from one site to one on siteground.
I understood that in the hosting settings I have to change the type of hosting from "website" to "forwarding". But I have some email accounts linked to the domain, if I redirect, will I lose the email accounts?

Hi Lisa95,

I did some lab research on my plesk "web admin edition".
Mail Accounts will stay even after you change from website to forwarding.

If you are unsure, you can do something like I do If there are still inportant data in webhost: Do forwarding via html code.
When you have a file index.html or index.php, rename it and add ".bak"
Create a blank file index.html und insert this:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=https://yourwebside.com">
</head>
</html>

Edit: in https://yourwebside.com put your Site where you want current website be forwarded to.
