# Redirecting Your Domains using Cloudflare

> I was not available for some time, so I haven't written about anything in a long time, recently I bought a [new domain](https://blankparticle.in) so I had to redirect my old domain and its subdomains to my new domain, This small blog is about how to do that.

I recently had to redirect my `.me` domain to `.in` domain, so I had to do Cloudflare domain redirects. Here is how to do it.

## Adding DNS Records

First, you need to add some **DNS Records**, follow this table and create new records or edit your existing records.

| Type | Name | Content | Proxy Status | TTL |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A | `*` | 192.0.2.1 | Proxied | Auto |
| A | `@` | 192.0.2.1 | Proxied | Auto |

> *You should not edit non-conflicting Records until you know what you are doing*

## Setting Up Page Rules

Once you have DNS setup, go to **Rules > Page Rules**, Add a new rule with the config defined below,

URL: `*olddomain.com/*`  
Setting: Forwarding URL  
Status Code: `301` / `302`  
Destination URL: `https://$1newdomain.com/$2`

Now save the page rule and enable if already not enabled, This might take up to an hour to reflect on all devices due to DNS Caches.

## Effects

With this config all URLs and subdomains of `olddomain.com` will be redirected to `newdomain.com`

| From | Redirected To |
| --- | --- |
| `https://olddomain.com` | `https://newdomain.com` |
| `https://olddomain.com/anypage?with=query_string` | `https://newdomain.com/anypage?with=query_string` |
| `https://www.olddomain.com` | `https://www.newdomain.com` |
| `https://anything.olddomain.com` | `https://anything.newdomain.com` |
