URL records allow you to redirect your domain to another address (e.g, a Facebook page). A URL record can be added to all domains registered at Zone and using our DNS servers.
Adding a record
In order to add a record, choose DNS servers
next to the corresponding domain in the My Zone:
.
Then choose Change DNS records
On the URL row
add a URL redirection
There are two types of redirection. A 301
redirect is a permanent redirect. It is used when one page completely and permanently redirects to another address. A 302
redirect is a temporary redirect.
If you want to redirect the www
subdomain, then in the Host
field enter www. It is advisable to always add two entries, with www and without www (leave the Host field blank).
In the URL
field, enter the full address, where you want to redirect your domain, e.g.: https://www.zone.ee/
Click Change
to save the added records.
The change will take effect when the DNS records are propagated in about one hour.
Deleting records
In order to delete
a record, check the box next to the corresponding record and click Change
.
Notes
- The URL record redirects both HTTP and HTTPS requests. In the case of HTTPS requests, a Let’s Encrypt certificate is automatically activated.
- Technically, URL record doesn’t exists on the name server. In the background, an A-record with an IP address of
217.146.70.51
is added to the DNS zone, where the Zone redirection service is located, which redirects the request with the correct code to the correct address.
