Redirect Supply vs WEDOS domain redirect: HTTPS without webhosting or add-ons
WEDOS's domain redirect forwards traffic over plain HTTP. For HTTPS, WEDOS points you to the paid WEDOS Protection add-on, or to a webhosting plan with a Let's Encrypt certificate and a hand-written .htaccess file. Redirect Supply issues the certificate automatically, maps every old page to its new URL, and needs nothing but a few DNS records, while your domain stays registered at WEDOS.

Why Redirect Supply
Choose Redirect Supply for redirects that stay out of your way. Every old URL lands on the right page, every domain runs on HTTPS, and nothing breaks when your website moves.
WEDOS redirect or Redirect Supply? The short answer
Keep WEDOS's domain redirect if the domain only needs plain HTTP forwarding and nobody will reach it through an https:// link.
Switch to Redirect Supply if the old domain must work over HTTPS, if you don't want webhosting just to redirect, or if pages need their own new addresses. The free plan covers your first domain, and the domain stays registered at WEDOS.
For any domain people actually visit, that makes it a Redirect Supply job.
FAQs
Questions about WEDOS redirects and Redirect Supply
Does the WEDOS domain redirect support HTTPS?
Not on its own. WEDOS's knowledge base describes the domain-level redirect as HTTP only, with HTTPS available through the paid WEDOS Protection add-on or through webhosting with a Let's Encrypt certificate and an .htaccess file. Redirect Supply includes HTTPS on every connected domain.
Do I need WEDOS webhosting just to redirect a domain?
For an HTTPS redirect without the Protection add-on, WEDOS's recommended route is webhosting: the domain is added as an alias, a certificate is activated, and an .htaccess file handles the redirect. Redirect Supply needs no hosting at all, only the DNS records it shows you.
Can I redirect individual pages at WEDOS?
Yes, with .htaccess rewrite rules on a webhosting plan. In Redirect Supply, you create the same path redirects and wildcards in the dashboard, no code required.
Does Redirect Supply work with .cz domains?
Yes. Redirect Supply works with any domain whose DNS records you can edit, including .cz, .sk, .eu, and every other extension WEDOS offers.
Do I need to transfer my domain away from WEDOS?
No. Your domain, renewals, and invoices stay at WEDOS. You only change a few DNS records in the WEDOS administration so Redirect Supply handles the redirects. See the DNS setup guide.
How do I switch a WEDOS domain to Redirect Supply?
Add your domain in Redirect Supply and copy the records it shows. In the WEDOS administration, remove the existing domain redirect and any conflicting records, then add the new DNS records. Your redirects go live once DNS propagates.
