Web and email forwarders
Forwarders are the shortest way to put a domain to use without running a server or a mailbox. regfish has two kinds, and they have nothing in common beyond the name.
Where to find them
Section titled “Where to find them”Domains → your domain → Forwarders → Web or Email, direct addresses:
dash.regfish.com/my/domains/<tld>/<sld>/forward/web and .../forward/mail
Web forwarders
Section titled “Web forwarders”A web forwarder sends a request from one URL to another automatically. Typical cases: pointing a campaign domain at a subpage, leading an old spelling to the new one, or parking a domain until the site is ready.
You create one through new forwarder. After that it sits in the list and can be edited or removed there.
Email forwarders
Section titled “Email forwarders”An email forwarder accepts mail at an address on your domain and delivers it to another address. No mailbox is created: the mail is only passed on, storage happens at the destination. If you want to actually receive and keep mail on the domain, you need a mailbox instead.
Requirement: regfish nameservers
Section titled “Requirement: regfish nameservers”Both forwarders require the domain to run on regfish nameservers. If it lives elsewhere, the menu entries are disabled and name exactly that reason. The connection is technically unavoidable: forwarding hangs on records in the zone that regfish has to be able to set itself.
What shows up in the DNS records
Section titled “What shows up in the DNS records”Forwarders create entries in the zone. Editing or deleting those by hand breaks the forwarding without the forwarder page showing it. So always make changes here, not in the DNS records.
