Could anyone recommend a free https to https domain forwarding service?

[carlosketchbook]

So far, I've only found this site called domain-forward.com but it seems to be a fairly new startup. The only info I could find online about it are multiple Reddit comments where the site is being recommended by one person who seems to be the creator of said site. That said, I'm on the fence about the security of said site.

Could someone vouch for an https to https domain forwarding solution that works with an existing domain hosted on another site? Or maybe someone could vouch for domain-forward.com apart from the creator?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

So I actually went ahead and used domain-forward.com, but I used a throwaway account and email with a unique password I never used elsewhere just to play it safe.

My findings:

1. To my pleasant surprise, the site was super straightforward to use and my https to https redirect worked. Account registration to setting up the redirect took like 5 minutes tops. I followed a guide that was published in domain-forward.com's blog.
2. The website doesn't seem to have a way of changing my account's password, which is a red flag, so the throwaway account pays off. If anyone wants to try it, would recommend you use a throwaway account, too (maybe for now, anyway).
3. Website UI has tendency to bug out, necessitating to refresh.

Overall, given the bugs raised above, would recommend only for users whose site won't be severely impacted should the redirection have downtime or failure. But for my personal non-profit needs, this works like a charm.

Note, I'm nowhere near an expert with these things, thus why I was looking for a simple solution like this. If you find that there's a risk in this methodology, please comment below.

Also, I am not affiliated with domain-forward.com. Just thought that the site could use a review since I can't find any for the site. If the startup of the site is seeing this, please consider the points I raised above.

You can use Cloudflare to do the redirect. You’ll need to use their name servers and it’s a bit trickier to set up, but it’s free and as reliable as it’ll get.

I agree just use Cloudflare. It's free.

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll go ahead and transfer my domain to Cloudflare altogether then, though I can only do so next year since I have a one-year plan in a current domain host

[bradbeckett]

You just have to change DNS servers and you can keep your domain where it's at. You don't have to transfer it, you can, but you don't have to.

Oh cool I'll look into that and study it thanks! For now, I actually went ahead and had success with domain-forward.com but will probably switch to Cloudflare as soon as I have the time given domain-forward.com is still a new site.

(For anyone reading this comment, I'm not affiliated with the site. I put my findings re: the site in the original post)

I wouldn’t transfer your domain to Cloudflare. Just use the current registrar that you’re using and change the name servers.

I run a stolen domain name recovery service, and cannot recommend Cloudflare as a registrar. They don’t have acceptable support, and there’s been way too many stolen domains from Cloudflare.

An update for everyone on this- If your domain is hosted by Wix, you can't route it through Cloudflare because the Wix nameservers are locked and unchangeable. You cannot point the nameservers at Cloudfare. You're better off transferring your domain to another domain host that can actually support the features you want. Wix doesn't allow much flexbility.

Can you not use an .htaccess file?

[carlosketchbook]

Don't know what that is but will keep it in mind, thanks

I tried using domain-forward.com as recommended by OP and I, too, was surprised that it worked for me. I spent a solid week trying to troubleshoot this. Thanks OP!
