How do I create a Web forward?

With a Web forward, you direct a domain or subdomain to another domain or subdomain. It's exactly the same as creating a Redirect, other than that with a Web forward you can also forward to and from a subdomain.

If you want to direct (or point) a domain to an IP address, you need to create an A record instead.

With the rollout of our new Control Panel design, some steps or screenshots in this guide may look different from what you see now. While we work on updates, please check the guide below whenever the instructions don't match your screen:

Navigating the new one.com Control Panel design

Create a Web forward on your domain

1. Log into the one.com Control Panel.
2. Click DNS settings on the Advanced settings tile.
3. Go to DNS records.
4. Under create new record, click Web forward.
5. Enter the following details:
   - Hostname: leave it empty to redirect the domain, or enter a subdomain.
   - URL: Enter the URL you want to direct to, including "https://".
6. Click Create record to save your settings.

Example: In the screenshot below we have pointed www.one-example.guide to the URL https://www.one-example.com. So when a visitor types in www.one-example.guide in their browser, they end up on www.one-example.com.
