Hi Kingsley,

I guess what you want to do is a web redirect, right?

Hi Kingsley,

yes, but not affecting the eamil

yes, but not affecting the eamil

I recommend you make a redirect from your web server, if you use apache add it from the .htaccess and if you use nginx add the redirection in the vhost

Edit your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301]

Edit your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301]

and this will not affect the emails? BUT there is no htacess file in httpdocs

You can also use this for aditional nginx or apache instructions:

This will not effect the emails, it's just a content forward.

To set up email forwarding for an email address:

1. Go to Mail > email address > Forwarding tab.
2. Select the Switch on mail forwarding checkbox.
3. Specify one or several email addresses to which email must be forwarded. When specifying email addresses, separate them with white spaces, commas, semicolons, or type each of them on a new line.
4. Click OK.
5. If you do not want to keep copies of forwarded messages in the mailbox, go to Mail > email address, clear the Mailbox checkbox, and click OK.

To switch off mail forwarding:

1. Go to Mail > email address > Forwarding tab.
2. Clear the Switch on mail forwarding checkbox, and click OK.

Otherwise if you want to forward mails to another receiver, may in the case that this mailbox is not available, use MX-Records.

alright thanks, and subdomains won't be affected right?

A common misconception is that a subdomain is somehow completely different than a main domain. This however is simply not true, and redirecting a subdomain is almost identical to redirecting a main non subdomain. To redirect a subdomain you can modify the following example code to fit your specific needs:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.yourdomain.tld$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.anotherdomain.tld%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NC,L,QSA]

So the redirect from the main domain, will not effect the subdomain and contrariwise.

I do not want to forward emails, i want the emails to work on domain1.com for example emails will be sent to [email protected] but if you type domain1.com on the address bar you will be directed to domain.com

does not seems to redirect

 

[m3lezZ]

<IfModule proxy_http_module>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example2.com/$1 [P]
</IfModule>

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example2.com/$1 [P]
</IfModule>

healthable.net is not redirecting to healthable.org

 

[m3lezZ]

Is there hosting on the .net?

You can create a forward without the apache:

1. Go to Plesk > Home > Subscriptions > example.com
2. Click Add New Domain button
3. Choose Forwarding option in Hosting type section.
4. Press OK

 

[m3lezZ]

Otherwise, create in the httpdocs folder ".htaccess"

and copy this and save the file:

# Permanent URL redirect
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 healthable.net  healthable.org

This means emails will not work on healthable.net

 

[m3lezZ]

However, the mail service can be activated on the forwarded domain.

You can recive mails on a domain wich redirects.

i am using external DNS server for healthable.org

 

[m3lezZ]

Shows the DNS record on this Plesk server?
This should have no effect.
