Q: Hi, I have short domains that have been waiting for something just as amazing as Switchy!

I am just a bit confused now on how to set my domains up, they're a shorter version of my brand's name so I want to use them in order to shorten any links I need for the brand but I want the short domain to redirect to my brand's site.

So for example, I have tmt.to domain, I can use it to shorten URL's to be like tmt.to/SignUp
But, when someone goes to the short domain tmt.to without the extension after, I want them to be redirected to my main brand domain. Is that possible with Switchy's CNAME configuration?

Should I add the short domain in my cPanel as an addon domain OR as domain aliases in order for it to work the I way I just explained with Switchy?

Thank you in advance and excited to start using Switchy!!

I'm curious if you did this or did it work for you? I'm looking to do the exact same thing and wondered if I set it up as an alias/parked domain
