DNS Service Now Includes HTTP Redirects

William just finished deploying the updated hosting tools. It's a small enhancement but it's something that we've been meaning to add support for some time. This allows customers with DNS hosting for a domain to redirect web traffic to another URL without having to setup hosting on the domain. This can be used to easily alias several associated domains all to a single site.

For example, I have example.com hosted and have just registered example.info and want it to point to the same site. If I have an IP based hosting service I could update the DNS records for example.info to point to the same IP addresses. However, if I have a name based hosting service, that isn't possible. Instead, I can setup a redirect on example.info to redirect a browser to http://example.com - an advantage (or disadvantage) is that the location in the browser will also be updated to example.com

Kelsey,
Please include link to the support page that tells us how to do an http redirect, step by step. If there isn't one, please write and post one. Thanks.
