: DNS record for permanent redirect? Newbie webmaster here: I have 2 domains mydomain.com and mydomain.net. I want a permanent redirect so that if anyone browses to mydomain.net they navigate

You won't be able to "redirect" using DNS records.

As mentioned:


You could create a CNAME record for your .net domain, this way your
DNS will translate mydomain.net to mydomain.com.


This is a good first step, but this only sets the domain to point to the same IP, it doesn't actually perform any redirecting. Once the domain is pointing to the same place you can then set your webserver (Apache/NGINX/IIS/&c) to HTTP redirect traffic from one domain to the other.

You can try redirect.center.
In your case, configure your DNS like this:

mydomain.net A 54.84.55.102
redirect.mydomain.net CNAME mydomain.com.redirect.center www.mydomain.net CNAME mydomain.redirect.center
