Redirect Domain

A "redirect" domain acts as a pointer to web content on another domain. When accessing a web page on the redirected domain, the browser's URL is changed to the domain to which it is being redirected. When setting this up through the DreamHost control panel this is done as a 301 redirect automatically.

To redirect a domain you must either have an active hosting plan OR the domain must be registered in our system and pointing to our name servers.
