You can forward (redirect) WWW traffic for any domain name registered with Loopia directly from the Loopia Customer Zone. There are three options: frame forwarding, URL forwarding (301/302) and forwarding to another domain in your account (alias).
Get started
Log in to Loopia Customer Zone and select the domain name you want to forward. If you want the same page to be displayed for the domain both with and without the www prefix, tick the box Synchronize the domain and subdomain www.
You can choose between three forwarding methods: Forward (which keeps your domain name visible in the browser), URL Forward (which displays the target URL instead) and forwarding to another domain in your account (alias).
Forward (frame forwarding)
This option forwards your visitors to the target address through a frame page hosted with us. The domain name stays visible in the browser address bar. You can also specify a title and meta information for search engines.
Click Forward. The following information can then be entered.
- Target — The address to forward your visitors to (required). For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/~page/
- Title — The title shown in the browser tab for your visitors (optional).
- Keywords — Keywords (meta-data) for your address (optional). These become part of the meta tags generated for your address.
- Description — A short description (meta-data) for your address (optional). This becomes part of the meta tags generated for your address.
Note: a domain forwarded with a frame (iframe) only works over http, and the server hosting the target page must allow iframes. You also can’t use frame forwarding to point to an online shop, since the shop’s payment system requires https between the server and the visitor.
URL Forward (redirect)
This option forwards visitors directly to the specified target. The target URL is shown in the browser address bar.
- Target — The address to forward your visitors to (required). For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/~page/
- Type — Choose Pass on (302) to indicate that the website temporarily has a new address, or Page moved (301) to indicate that the website has permanently moved to a new address.
Forward to another domain in your account (alias)
With this option you can send the traffic from your domain name to another domain name in the same account. Visitors then reach the same website whichever of your addresses they type in.
Save your forwarding
When you have completed the steps above, click Save. You have now created a redirection of WWW traffic for your domain name.
