Follow these steps if you wish to forward all pages from www.domain.com to a specific page so http://www.domain.com/* forwards to http://www.domain2.com/abc.
How to Create the Web Forward
- Log into UltraDNS.
- Click Domains.
- Click the <domain name> that you want to add the web forward to.
- Under Web Forwarding, click + Add Record.
- Enter the domain, site, directory, or page that you want to redirect in the Requests To: field. (For example, if you want to redirect all pages on www.domain.com enter http://www.domain.com/* without quotes.)
- Enter the domain, site, directory, or page to redirect in the Redirects To: field. (For example, if you want forward to the specific page http://www.domain2.com/abc, enter http://www.domain2.com/abc without quotes.)
- Set Type to whatever value is preferred. (For example, if this is a redirect that you plan to leave in place for the foreseeable future, select 301 Redirect.)
- Leave the Relative Forward: as is unless you need to append a portion of the incoming URL to the Redirects To URL.
- Click Save.
Additional Information
Insight Into Step 3: If you do not see Web Forwarding, ensure that you are on the Records tab then check to see if the checkbox is marked next to Web Forwarding. Visibility to a record can be turned on or off in the Settings next to Collapse All at the top of the records list on the right.

Verification
- Test a URL that matches the Requests To pattern, for example http://www.domain.com/test.
- Confirm it redirects to the Redirects To destination, for example http://www.domain2.com/abc.
- Confirm the redirect type returned matches the Type selected, for example 301 if 301 Redirect was selected.
