Forward a domain in Plesk to another URL (301/302 or frame forwarding)

Domain forwarding is useful when you want visitors of old-domain.tld to be redirected to new-domain.tld (or to any other URL).

Important: forwarding configured in Plesk works only if the domain’s DNS points to the same hosting server (via GARMTECH nameservers or A record).

1) Open Hosting Settings for the domain

1. Log in to Plesk (via My.GARMTECH).
2. Go to Websites & Domains.
3. Find the domain you want to forward and click Hosting Settings (sometimes shown as Hosting).

2) Switch hosting type to “Forwarding”

1. In Hosting type, select Forwarding.
2. In Forward visitors to, enter the full destination URL (including https://).
3. Select the forwarding type:
   • Moved permanently (301) — recommended for SEO and permanent changes (browser URL changes).
   • Moved temporarily (302) — for temporary redirects (browser URL changes).
   • Frame forwarding — keeps the original domain in the browser (usually not recommended for SEO).
4. Save changes.

3) Avoid duplicate redirects

• If you also have redirects in .htaccess, WordPress, or Cloudflare, avoid stacking multiple redirects (it can cause loops).

4) Optional: keep email working

Forwarding affects only website traffic. Email delivery depends on MX records. If you still use email on the old domain, do not remove or break your MX configuration.
