How do I set up redirect for a domain?

Redirection speaks for itself — this function allows you to direct a visitor from your domain (or subdomain) to another domain, subdomain, or any page on the Internet. There can be many cases for this:

• While your site is still under development, you can redirect customers to your Facebook or Instagram page;
• You can buy domains with the same name in different domain zones and then direct them all to the same primary domain.

Let's get started with the configuration.

⚠️ To create a redirect, your domain must use NIC.UA name servers.

Open the "Name servers (NS)" section and go to the DNS records settings by clicking on the gear next to the name servers; then on "Change" next to the DNS records:

A menu will open for editing and adding DNS records. Most likely, you will already have two records with the names "@" and "www" of type "A". You will need to delete them by clicking on the "X" at the end of the line.

After that, add two records:

1. Record «@»
   • Name: @
   • Type: Permanent Redirect
   • URL: https://www.facebook.com/club.nic.ua
2. Record «www»
   • Name: www
   • Type: Permanent Redirect
   • URL: https://www.facebook.com/club.nic.ua

This will create a redirect for "domain.com" and "www.domain.com".

Now click the "Save" button and wait for your ISP to update the DNS cache. Usually, the update takes from a couple of hours up to a day.
