Free URL Redirect Service
What’s better than pizza? There’s only one correct answer: FREE pizza! The same is true for URL Redirect Services. Now, there’s a lot of redirection tools and services out there and it can be hard to find the right one. But look no further: we’ve developed one of the best URL redirection services on the web and the only way we could make it even better… was to make it free.
What is a URL Redirect Service?
First things first, what is a URL Redirect Service? Simply put, it's a way to automatically send a user from one URL to another. This can be helpful for a variety of reasons - maybe you've changed the location of (pages on) your website, or you want to shorten a long and unwieldy URL. Whatever the case may be, it all comes down to giving your users the best user experience on your website and making sure your precious content gets found, every time.

The best things in life are free
Now, let's talk about why our free redirect service is the best option out there. For starters, we’ve been where you are… We’ve spent ages looking for the best way to redirect our URLs and nothing we found had all the options we needed. Finally, we decided that the only real option was to build the ultimate redirection software ourselves. So we put all of our knowledge and experience into building the perfect tool and called it redirect.pizza.
Why the pizza reference? Well, who doesn’t love pizza? It’s versatile. It’s accessible. It doesn’t break the bank. It’s fun and… it’s best when shared with friends.

Changing the DNS records
Once the redirect is created, the final step is to configure your DNS of the domain to our server. All the information required can be accessed here. Voila! You are good to go, all you have to do is wait for the DNS records to update. When the domain DNS is validated, the SSL certificate is automatically requested and installed on our servers. Learn why this matters in our article on why HTTPS redirects break without proper certificates.Now type in the old URL or domain that you wanted to redirect and you can now confirm if our URL redirect service has worked its magic. You can verify your setup with our free redirect tester.
