How to use URL Forwarding?

[Enablizing]

Hello Zoneedit Users,

I am asking for assistance on how the URL Forwarding works, if I wanted to redirect my site to a different site, would I put in @ for the host, URL i want to redirect to in the URL section, checkmark 301 and leave the TTL blank? I was wondering if these are the right settings and how long it would take for me to be able to test it. Thanks!

hi there what is the domain name of concern? and yes in most cases the host would be the @ sign and the URL will be the URL you want to point to. The TTL can be left blank as the record will use the TTL value in the SOA... once record is set it should propagate within three hours for new domains added to your account.. as the default TTL in the SOA is three hours.

The domain is isomerslaboratories.com. Not sure if you can see if I added the forwarding correctly.

its set properly. If you wanted the www version to also go there you can create a URL forward for the www record or create a Cname where host www points at isomerslaboratories.com

It's been over 3 hours I think and still haven't been redirected, is it something I did wrong?

it resolves for me at present.. to https://blog.isomers.ca/ perhaps clear the cache or the machines DNS cache.

It's working on my other machine, I guess it may be the cache. Thanks!
