WordPress redirections

  • From the Control Panel

For creating a redirection of our domain to WordPress, we access “Registered Domains” from our Control Panel in CDmon. Here we select any domain we want to redirect by clicking on the name of the domain or on “Manage”. 

At Redirections and DNS settings we click on “Web redirections” and “Manage redirections” and we add the redirection “Web with and without www” with the destination URL address http://user.wordpress.com.

 

Important: even though it is a correct way of redirecting our domain to WordPress, it isn’t the best for SEO positioning. 

 

 

  • From the WordPress DNS servers

In this case, it is necessary to have purchased a Premium service with WordPress to be able to verify the domain:

Blogspot / Blogger redirections

  • Redirection by URL

To redirect the domain by URL we access “Registered Domains” in our Control Panel at CDmon. Here we select the domain we wish to redirect by clicking on the domain name or on “Manage”. 

In redirections and DNS settings we click on “Web redirections” and “Manage redirections” and we add the redirection “Web with and without www” with destination URL address 

http:// user .blogger.com

Important: even though this is a correct way of redirecting our domain to Blogger, it isn’t the best for SEO positioning. 

Once this is done, access Google’s administration at “Site Administration” and “Security” and enable the “Allow insertion of your site in other sites” option.

 

  • From Blogger

Access Blogger and the section “Publishing” and add your own domain. The system will ask for verification, and being unable to do so, it will notify you that you need to create two CNAME records which are the ones you need to create in the CDmon DNS records. 

 

From your Control Panel access “Registered Domains”. Here select the domain you wish to redirect by clicking on the domain name or on “Manage”.

In redirections and DNS configurations click on “Manage records and create two CNAME:

- A CNAME, with origin address “www” and destination address "ghs.google.com".

- A second CNAME, exclusive to your blog and Google account

Once created, wait for an hour and confirm Blogger’s validation. This time you will see that the linking has been effected.

If the domain name contains the letter “ñ” you will need to enter it as puny code. Once validated you need to edit: 

 

 

And then mark the option “Redirect mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com".
