How to set a default rule for redirection

You can set the default rule for redirection for all your domains. The available choices consist of:

  • 301 Permanent — for pages moved permanently. Useful when you migrate old website to a new location. Search engine will update index and the page will be permanently moved to the new URL

  • 302 Standard — default behavior. User will be redirected to a new location without cache. Search engines will follow original URL

  • 307 Standard — for forms submission. Useful to track form submissions. Browser will visit short URL first and then actually submits form

  • 308 Permanent — for forms submission with permanent redirect. Useful for form submissions with HTTP POST/PUT redirect. All POST data, which was sent to the short URL will be submitted to the destination URL
