Plesk Shared Hosting: Adding a Domain Forwarder

You can add a new domain name to forward to another domain or even a directory within another domain. To go to a specific page on another website, that requires an advanced setup in a .htaccess file. We recommend independent research for such advanced needs. First, ensure you are logged into your account at the Shared Hosting login page.
