Domain redirects

Send one domain’s traffic to another HTTP(S) destination with a status code you choose.

Who can use this page? Site manage — Site Actions → Site Routing.

When to use this

• Move a brand to a new domain
• Point www or apex at a marketing site
• Temporary maintenance destination (use 302/307 first)

Configure

1. Site Actions → Site Routing
2. Enable Redirect to another domain
3. Enter the destination URL (https://new.example.com)
4. Choose Redirect type:

Code	Use
302	Temporary (default recommendation while testing)
307	Temporary, preserve method
301	Permanent — browsers cache aggressively
308	Permanent, preserve method

5. Save

Source options may preserve path/query — follow the UI labels for path/query preservation.

Requirements and limits

• DNS for the source domain must still point at NitHost
• The source needs a valid HTTPS certificate (or you will hit cert errors after redirect)
• Managed redirect loops are rejected; loops configured at external destinations are not detected — check those yourself
• Redirects apply only when the site is active; inactive sites stay suspended
• Disable the redirect to serve the original application again
• This does not rewrite WordPress or app internal URLs

Start with 302 while testing. Permanent redirects (301/308) may remain cached in browsers and CDNs long after you change your mind.
