DNS redirection toward freeflarum.com from online.net

bavard

Hello I am addressing here the French speaking customers of the registrar called online.net and at the same time owners of a forum at freeflarum.com
I'm trying to configure the DNS zones in order to redirect my domain name to my forum at freeflarum.com but it does not work I tried everything and at best it redirects to https://www.freeflarum.com/
online.net does not provide any technical support regarding zones, and the freeflarum.com admin answered me well but it is not his job either.

Have any of you gone through this issue and found the solution ? Otherwise I will hire a webmaster on upwork.

Apology @clarkwinkelmann I was under the impression that discussions in foreign languages were accepted.

bavard les règles du forum demandent que tous les posts soient rédigés en anglais. Merci de traduire votre message en anglais si vous souhaitez de l'aide ici. Je rédige la suite de mon message en anglais.

Our forum rules ask for all content to be written in English. Please translate your post into English if you'd like help here.

Please give us more details on which type of record you try to set with which value. But I'm not sure we will be able to help as this is not a DNS-oriented forum.

This is only permitted in translation specific discussions (translator extensions) the rest of the forum is strictly English. So that the most number of users can participate and help others.

@bavard The issue you'll experience here is that forwarding one SSL domain to another may well result in certificate errors if not handled properly. What you should be able to do is create a 301 redirect at the domain level to redirect domain.com to domain.freeflarum.com.

Can you outline here what you've done so far ?

Thanks

[deleted] With this registrar to do a 301 redirection (and mask the target domain) I would need a .htaccess and the paid hosting for it, which makes no sense since I want the hosting to be provided by freeflarum.

With everything I have tried I've only been able to redirect to https://www.freeflarum.com/
I'm being helped by a webmaster on upwork, he found that subdomain.freeflarum.com redirects to do subdomain.flarum.cloud so I'm using the last one in the CNAME record. We don't know yet if it propagates properly.
The forum settings at freeflarum.com keep saying there is no CNAME for subdomain.freeflarum.com
