What is wildcard redirect in Namecheap?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:39 pm

Wildcard redirect is a feature that Namecheap offers to its customers. It allows them to redirect all of the traffic that comes to their domain name to a different domain name.

This is a great way to make sure that all of the traffic that comes to your website is directed to the correct page.

PRO TIP: A wildcard redirect is a type of redirect that allows you to redirect all of the subdomains for a domain to a single URL. For example, if you have a wildcard redirect for example.com, then any subdomain (such as foo.example.com or bar.example.com) will be redirected to the same URL as example.com. This can be useful if you want to redirect all of the subdomains for a domain to a single page on your website, such as a landing page or a “coming soon” page. However, it is important to note that wildcard redirects will not work for root domains (such as example.com) or for subdomains that already have their own individual redirects in place.

This is a great feature for businesses that have multiple pages that need to be accessed. It can also be a great way to keep track of which page visitors are on.

Wildcard redirect can also be a great way to redirect traffic to a different website if you are the owner of that website.
