Hello,
I am trying to setup Page Rules to forward my domain to an url, but it seems to doesn’t work.
In DNS I have only 2 MX records for my custom mail. Am I missing something or do I need a webhosting for this to work?
Thanks!
You will need a DNS record for the required hostnames.
Yes that’s right.
You’ll also need one for www and any other hostnames you want to match in the rules.

Yes, so exact process with www, instead of @ → www, but what about https://?
DNS doesn’t care about the protocol (http or https), you just need one for each subdomain.
Yep, will only take a couple of minutes. If your local DNS cache has the old result cached then it can take longer.
Thank you very much, it works, but it redirects to disc***rd com, without / after it. 
It redirects to the right place, then https://discord.gg/F4jqRJ9HCT/ sends it to discord.com.
Oh, I realized what’s that happening, no worries.
Thank you once again and have a great day/night!

Just for reference if you are only using the domain for this redirect you can make just one rule that will achieve this matching *example.com/* but what you have does work.
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I replaced https://discord.gg/F4jqRJ9HCT/ with https://discord.com/invite/F4jqRJ9HCT/, hope it will work.
For now it redirects only to https://discord.com/ for some reason, I guess I will need to wait.
Yeah it seems to work OK now, if you’re seeing the old redirect it’s probably cached as you did set a 301 permanent redirect.
If you test it with www, it works also?
Yes.

Oh, one last thing, is it also possible to redirect from example epic-central.eu/… to some url?
You mean a subdomain like something.epic-central.eu or epic-central.eu/something? Yes you can set a page rule for that and use wildcards * to match multiple URLs. If you do it for a subdomain you’ll also need to add another DNS record like you did the others.
