Show HN: I built a redirection tool to simplify domain redirects management
Hi all, over the past weeks I've built Redirect.Monster, a simple tool to set up, manage, and monitor domain redirects.
The idea sparked from a chat with a friend managing IT in a mid-sized company. He needed a solution to manage dozens of redirections across several registrars. I found the topic interesting, so I decided to build it.
After conducting a few researches, I've found that this tool can be useful for several use-cases:
- Rebranding and website migration: requiring a change of hostname from old.domain.com to new.domain.com.
- Post-merger integration and traffic consolidation: when a company acquires another one, it will need to redirect the traffic.
- SEO marketing: managing certain types of redirections to preserve domain reputation.
I also added automatic TLS encryption so that all redirects are HTTPS by default. It is especially useful for non-technical users as certificate management can be annoying.
It is still pretty basic, but it does the job. If you need a domain redirect service, please use it!
I'm also eager to get feedback from the community in order to make it better.
