You can set the default rule for redirection for all your domains. The available choices consist of:

  • 301 Permanent β€” for pages moved permanently. Useful when you migrate old website to a new location. Search engine will update index and the page will be permanently moved to the new URL

  • 302 Standard β€” default behavior. User will be redirected to a new location without cache. Search engines will follow original URL

  • 307 Standard β€” for forms submission. Useful to track form submissions. Browser will visit short URL first and then actually submits form

  • 308 Permanent β€” for forms submission with permanent redirect. Useful for form submissions with HTTP POST/PUT redirect. All POST data, which was sent to the short URL will be submitted to the destination URL

  1. Sign in to your Short.io account.

  2. Navigate to the Settings menu and click on Profile:

  3. In the Default settings section select a Redirect rule.

  4. Click on Save changes to confirm.
