Domain Forwarding

Domain Forwarding

Domain forwarding in Virtualizor offers a practical solution for hosting HTTP/HTTPS services—and even any other TCP services—on a private IP without the need for a dedicated public IP. This capability is particularly beneficial for managing multiple VPSes when public IP addresses are limited, ensuring efficient resource utilization and streamlined administration.

What Is Domain Forwarding?

At its core, domain forwarding in Virtualizor allows VPSes to serve web and other TCP-based services using a registered domain name that points to one of the source IP addresses allocated by your Virtualizor administrator. Instead of each VPS requiring an individual public IP address, a single public IP can be shared among many VPS instances. This is achieved by redirecting incoming traffic from the designated domain to the corresponding private IP address of your VPS.
