# Joker.com DNS Editor: Choose Your URL Redirect Method

We would like to introduce an enhancement to the **Joker.com DNS Editor**: you can now **choose the redirect method for URL forwarding** directly when configuring your domain.

##### What’s new?

By default, your redirect is set to **“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently.”** If you prefer a different type of redirect, you can change it in the DNS editor under “**Type of redirection.”**

When setting up URL forwarding, you can select the exact redirect method - such as **301, 302, 303, 307, or 308 -** giving you control over how browsers, clients, and search engines handle your redirects.

You can also enable **“TLS”** in the options. This allows your redirect to be accessed securely via **HTTPS**. When it’s used for the first time, an **SSL certificate is generated automatically**—this may take a few seconds at first access.

##### Why it matters

<div class="page-content clearfix" component="page-display" id="bkmrk-better-seo-control%C2%A0w" option:page-display:page-id="274"><div dir="auto">- **Better SEO control** with accurate permanent/temporary redirects
- **Predictable request handling** for apps and APIs (method-preserving options)
- **Greater flexibility** for managing site migrations, A/B tests, and form workflows
