Domain name port forward. In fact it is a way to specify which local computer to send data and connection requests that arrive at a specific port on the router. Nginx is one of the most popular reverse proxies that are used to do that. Use path forwarding when the domain you re forwarding to has the same structure as the current domain.

Navigate to the advanced dns tab at the top of the page and find the host. To set up port forwarding port mapping perform the following actions. Select domain list from the left sidebar and click on the manage button next to your domain.

Add a new server block. First add a dns record for your subdomain. Url redirect url forwarding allows you to forward your domain visitors to any url of your choice to a new domain or a different website.

Path forwarding lets you forward the path after the domain name to the same path at the new domain. Under additional settings select manage dns. If you select a subdomain enter the subdomain maximum of 25 characters in the subdomain field.

Web forwarding allows you to seamlessly redirect users to the target url either completely masking the new url or by a search engine friendly 301 redirect. Under forwarding select add next to domain or subdomain. So we bought a new domain name and got a 2nd wan ip from our internet provider.

It cannot map the default port 80 to a custom port you will have to use a reverse proxy for that. If you wish to point a domain name to a pre existing website you may wish to utilise web forwarding within your online control panel. Select your domain name from the list to access the domain settings page.
