with one DNS record.

Free web forwarding. No account. HTTPS included.

Set up your domain How it works

TXT v=afwd1 preserve=y type=308 dest=https://new.example/
old-brand.example/blog/post?x=1
308 new.example/blog/post?x=1
Keep the path and query string

How it works

  1. 1

    Point your domain here

    Add a CNAME, or an ALIAS for a root domain. Or use A and AAAA records.

    go.example.com.  CNAME  fwd.afwd.nl
  2. 2

    Add one TXT record

    It says where visitors should go, and how.

    v=afwd1 dest=https://example.net/
  3. 3

    That's it

    Visitors are redirected. Certificates for HTTPS are issued and renewed automatically.

    302 → https://example.net/

    Why AFWD

    • Free, no account

      Your configuration lives in your own DNS. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to lose.

    • Automatic HTTPS

      Certificates are issued and renewed for every domain that points here.

    • Keeps your links working

      Forward /any/path?query to the same place on the new site, or everything to one page.

    • Every redirect type

      301, 302, 307 and 308, so browsers and search engines do exactly what you intend.

    • Private statistics

      Hits, paths and referrers for your domain. No IP addresses, no user agents, no cookies.

    • Open format

      Records build on the open afwd1 specification. Readable, documented, and yours.
