URL Forwarding and E-mail Forwarding

Joker.com offers a service that allows you to direct all web requests (HTTP) for a domain or subdomain registered with Joker.com to a different externally hosted domain. For example, you can point the web traffic of your domain to the webspace provided by your Internet service provider.

This feature lets you access your domain: http://www.your-domain.com while the actual content is hosted at:  http://www.your-internet-service-provider.com/your Account

The redirection is performed using the 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently' method, ensuring a permanent redirection.

You have the option to use a standard redirection or a "frame-based" redirection that keeps the original domain name visible in your browser's location bar.

Moreover, you can customize your URL forwards with your own special title, meta, or HTTP header tags.

Please note: only HTTP requests can be forwarded using URL Forwarding

To configure your URL forwarding, follow these steps:

1. Switch to our Nameservers

Check this article on how to do this. 

2. Once you've switched, the DNS button will become active (blue) on your dashboard next to the domain name. Click it:

 
3. In the DNS configuration section, choose URL Forward as record type:

4. Let's create a URL forwarding for a subdomain "www..." for our domain. Click "add":
 
5. Scroll down to view the newly added record, check its correctness, and click the "Save changes" button:

You are done!

Email Forwarding


Email Forwarding is a service provided by Joker.com that enables you to create email addresses for a domain and forward incoming emails for those addresses to an external mail account.

This means you can have email addresses such as:

These addresses can be forwarded to your email account at your ISP or email provider, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or others.

Please note the following:

It is also possible to create catch-all addresses. By entering '*' instead of 'your_name' as the Email Address:

Any emails that do not match any other address you created will be directed to the '*' entry.

Additionally:

Regarding the number of email addresses per domain, we do not impose strict limits. Instead, we follow a fair-use policy. As long as there are no significant system impacts caused by an excessive number of emails sent or addresses created, there will be no restrictions.

Excessive in this context refers to significantly above average, and system impact refers to significant interference with the general system and/or other users.

The current limits are as follows:

Important: When creating a new email address or changing the target address, you need to activate it by responding to the activation email sent to the Target Email Address. Simply click on the link provided within the email.

What about SPAM?
All email forwards are automatically scanned for SPAM. Emails classified as spam or malware will be blocked.
