How Do I Redirect a Domain to Another Domain on Weebly?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 5:31 pm

Weebly is a website builder that allows you to create a website without any coding knowledge. You can create a website in minutes and Weebly provides everything you need to create a website, including web hosting, domain names, and email accounts.

If you have a domain name that you want to redirect to your Weebly website, you can do this by updating the DNS settings for your domain. DNS (Domain Name System) is what connects your domain name to your website. When you update the DNS settings for your domain, you are telling the DNS servers where to find your website.

To redirect your domain to your Weebly website, you will need to login to your domain registrar account and update the DNS settings for your domain. If you purchased your domain from Weebly, you can login to your account at https://account.com/. Once logged in, click on the “Domains” tab and then click on the “DNS” button next to your domain name.

PRO TIP: Weebly allows you to redirect your domain to another domain, but you should be aware that this may result in some unexpected consequences. For example, if you redirect your domain to a new domain that has not been properly set up, you may find that your website is no longer accessible. Additionally, if you redirect your domain to an existing website, you may find that some of your website’s features are no longer available. Therefore, it is important to be sure that you understand how domain redirection works before attempting to redirect your domain.

On the DNS page, you will need to add a CNAME record. A CNAME record is used to map an alias name to another true or canonical name. For example, you could map the alias name “www” to the canonical name “yourdomain.com”. To add a CNAME record, enter the following information:

  • Host: Enter “www” or another alias that you want to use for your Weebly site.
  • Points To: Enter “yourdomain. Be sure to replace “yourdomain” with your actual domain name.
  • TTL: This is the time in seconds that the server should cache the information in this record. The TTL can be set to any value between 60 and 86400 seconds (1 day).

Conclusion:

In order to redirect a domain to another Domain on Weebly, one must first login into their Weebly account and access their Domain settings. From there, they will need add a CNAME record with specific Host and Pointing information as well as set a Time To Live (TTL) value.
