Hi @mdroles,

This should cover it, you can just set the target to the subdomain you want.

Redirecting One Domain to Another

This tutorial covers redirecting one domain to another. For this, we will be redirecting domainA.com to domainB.com. The following settings need to be configured under the domain you are redirecting from, in this example, this is domainA.com Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, www and any other subdomains you want to redirect, set to .

Hi,
this does not seem to work, I can redirect if I redirect to a domain but not a subdomain

[domjh]

Can you post the domain and a screenshot of the rule you have configured?

That domain is not using Cloudflare DNS. It’s using livedns from UK.

Hi

yes I know I have reverted back to my registrars redirect for the time being until I find a fix, but would like to use cloudflares infrastructure

can anyone help?

Does cloudflare not support redirect to subdomain, anyone?

[sdayman]

It sure does! Dom already posted a tutorial that works for any domain that’s fully controlled by the owner.

Hi,
Do my settings look right?

Yes, except for your name servers.

There’s really no point to using Cloudflare if you’re just going to redirect to another domain. Most domain registrars allow you to forward your domain to a another URL.

I just want to know why it wasn’t redirecting if my setting are correct
