Redirect URL Management
Redirect URL Management allows you to create powerful URL redirects for custom domains and subdomains directly from the Antryk dashboard.
Using Redirect URL Management, developers can configure permanent and temporary redirects, manage DNS verification, attach branded domains, and securely route traffic between URLs with automatic HTTPS support.
This feature is ideal for:
Website migrations
Domain forwarding
Marketing campaigns
SaaS onboarding links
Vanity URLs
Product launch pages
SEO-friendly URL redirection
Redirecting deprecated endpoints
Every redirect is managed through a centralized dashboard with DNS verification, SSL provisioning, and real-time status tracking.

When users open the source URL, they are automatically redirected to the target URL.
