How do I redirect a URL?

I would like to forward:

www.example.com/intake

to:

xx.xx.xx.xx/forms/intake.php

Do I do this by using an A record?

When I try to do this on GoDaddy I receive an error. It wants just the IP address without the specified path.

Solution

  • To do this with godaddy, follow this guide: https://www.godaddy.com/help/redirect-urls-with-your-hosting-account-5120

    If you want to hide the IP address, you are either going to have to set the A record of the domain to their IP and expect that server to have hosting for your domain name(not what you want), or you are going to have them listen for requests on a subdomain.

    Other then that, if you are customer with godaddy, why not ask godaddy for support?
