Parked-domain web routing

Can I forward individual pages on a parked domain?

UKC parked-domain Web Forwarding sends the domain to one destination. Use web hosting when different old paths must redirect to different new pages.

Short answer: not with the simple parked-domain forwarder

Web Forwarding is designed to send the domain and www name to a single saved URL. It does not provide a table of source paths and destinations.

Send the whole domain to one website

  1. Open My Domains and select Domain Tools.
  2. Open Web Forwarding.
  3. Enter the complete destination URL, including https:// when supported by the destination.
  4. Choose the redirect type shown for the feature and save.
  5. Confirm the domain's A record points to UKC Parking; saved forwarding cannot receive visitors while web traffic points elsewhere.

Use a hosted redirect map

For mappings such as /old-page to https://new.example/new-page, host the source domain and configure server-side redirects. On Apache hosting this is often done with carefully tested 301 rules in .htaccess; applications and other web servers may provide their own redirect manager.

Permanent site move
Use a 301 redirect for each old URL to its closest relevant new URL.
Temporary campaign
Use a temporary redirect only when the original URL is expected to return.
Many old paths
Build and test a redirect map; avoid sending every missing page to the new home page.
Query strings
Decide deliberately whether they must be preserved or removed.

Avoid redirect loops

Do not redirect a name to a URL that immediately redirects back to the source. Test http, https, root and www variants before making a large redirect set public.

Test the exact old URLs

  • Each important old path reaches the intended new page.
  • Redirects use HTTPS without certificate warnings.
  • No multi-hop chains or loops are introduced.
  • Missing paths return an appropriate 404 instead of an unrelated page.
  • Analytics and search tools are monitored after the move.

Need a path-by-path redirect plan?

Send us the source domain, a sample of old URLs and exact destinations, whether the move is permanent, the current hosting service and approximate number of rules. Do not send hosting passwords.
