  1. To keep things simple, leave the / (forward slash) section blank as this will redirect your entire domain to another website.

If you only want to redirect a particular page of your domain's website, enter the folder/file into the / (forward slash section)

  1. You can leave the Wild Card Redirect unticked

If you want to redirect all files in a directory to the same filename in a new directory, then you should choose the Wild Card Redirect option. For instance, if you have enabled Wild Card Redirect and domain1.au redirects to domain.au, then someone searching "https://domain1.au/pic.jpg," will be redirected to "https://domain.au/pic.jpg."
