Redirect Domains
The number of Primary Domains that a Servd project can use is limited, but often a project will have multiple domains that only need to redirect to a Primary domain and do nothing more. We call these 'Redirect Domains' and you can add as many as you need to the Servd Platform.
Adding a Redirect Domain #
-
Visit the Project Settings > Domains page in the Servd dashboard.
-
In the Redirect Domains panel, use the 'Add a Redirect Domain' form to enter a Domain (where you'd like to redirect from) and a Redirect To value (where you'd like to redirect to).
-
Click 'Add'
-
Copy the IP address shown within the details at the top of the Redirect Domains panel. Add this as a DNS 'A' record to the domain being redirected.
-
Wait a few moments for the DNS update to propagate, then click the Validate DNS button next to the redirect domain in the list.
-
Once the DNS has been confirmed, a new SSL certificate will be generated and your domain will begin redirecting straight away.
Redirect Domains and Cloudflare #
Proxying a redirect domain via Cloudflare will prevent our DNS validation from completing - you will see an error stating that AAAA records are set for the domain. In this situation you can either:
1. Disable cloudflare proxying on the domain, wait two minutes, then perform the validation again
2. Set up your redirect in Cloudflare instead! You can use a Cloudflare Page Rule, set to use a Forwarding URL. This allows you to safely remove the Redirect Domain from Servd.
