# How to Manually Add Domain Forwarding in Infraforge

Domain forwarding in Infraforge requires proper configuration of URL type records for your domain. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the setup process step by step.

### Step 1: Examine Existing Domain Forwarding

Before configuring a new domain, it's helpful to understand the typical setup by examining an existing configuration:

1\. Access the "Domains" section in Infraforge

2\. Find a domain with active forwarding

3\. Review its DNS settings configuration

### Step 2: Inspect the Forwarding Records

When examining the DNS records, pay special attention to:

Key Components

\- Record Type: URL records (not A or CNAME)

\- Hostnames: Three specific patterns required

\- Values: Forwarding destination

Standard Configuration

Hostname Pattern, Type, Value

\*.YOURDOMAIN.COM, URL, maindomain/redir=301

YOURDOMAIN.COM, URL, maindomain/redir=301

www.YOURDOMAIN.COM, URL, maindomain/redir=301

### Step 3: Add URL Records to Your Domain

Navigation

1\. Open Infraforge

2\. Go to Domains > and select your target domain

Record Configuration

Add the following three URL type records:

1.  Wildcard Record
    
    \- Hostname: \*.YOURDOMAIN.COM
    
    \- Type: URL
    
    \- Value: maindomain/redir=301
    
2.  Root Domain Record
    
    \- Hostname: YOURDOMAIN.COM
    
    \- Type: URL
    
    \- Value: maindomain/redir=301
    
3.  WWW Record
    
    Hostname: www.YOURDOMAIN.COM
    
    Type: URL
    
    Value: maindomain/redir=301
    

Remember to save your changes after adding each record.

### Step 4: Test the Forwarding

What you can check:

\- Proper redirection to target URL

\- Status code 301 in browser developer tools

\- No error messages or timeout issues

### Important Notes

**Propagation Time**

\- DNS changes typically take 24-48 hours to fully propagate

\- Some regions may see changes sooner than others

**Troubleshooting Tips**

\- Compare your configuration with working examples

\- Verify all three record types are present

\- Check for exact spelling and formatting

\- Ensure proper URL record type usage
