Implicit and Explicit URL Records
Last updated:2026-03-24 14:17:55
Overview
This document describes how to perform implicit/explicit URL forwarding. To point a domain name to another existing website, you need to add a URL record.
Note:
This document takes redirecting
http://www.dnspod.cn to http://cloud.tencent.com/ as an example.Implicit forwarding uses the iframe technology but not redirect technology. The effect is when
http://www.dnspod.cn is entered in the address bar of the browser and Enter is pressed, the website content opened will be that of the destination address http://cloud.tencent.com/, but the address bar will show the current address http://www.dnspod.cn.Note:
If the destination address doesn't allow to be nested, implicit forwarding cannot be used.
Explicit forwarding uses the 301 redirect technology. The effect is when
http://www.dnspod.cn is entered in the address bar of the browser and Enter is pressed, the website content opened will be that of the destination address http://cloud.tencent.com/, and the address bar will show the destination address http://cloud.tencent.com/ .Directions
Note:
1. Log in to the DNSPod Console.
2. In Authoritative Resolution page, click the domain for which to configure implicit/explicit forwarding to enter its Record Management page as shown below:
3. Click Add Records and enter the following record information as shown below:
Implicit forwarding:
Explicit forwarding:
Host Record: enter a subdomain prefix.
Record Type: select "Framed URL" or "URL".
Line Type: select "Default"; otherwise, the domain may not be resolvable for certain users.
Record Value: it must be a complete address, that is, it must contain the protocol and domain and can contain the port number and resource locater, such as
https://www.dnspod.com:80/.Weight: leave it empty.
