## Setup

For a list of best practices and cautions; see [Redirect URLs](docId:0asxniylBeKWy-1F1ySFs).

The URL Redirects module requires configuration of three components: Internet Information Services (IIS), Hosts File/DNS, and the URL Redirects module in the Admin Console. Directions for configuring these components are found below.

## IIS

To enable the redirection of websites, IIS needs to be configured.

### Configure IIS to use the HTML Redirect

1. Go to the **IIS Manager.**
2. Expand the **Sites Folder** in the left navigation column.

3. Choose the website that will have traffic redirected from it. Right-Click the chosen site and choose **Edit Bindings**. This will open a new window titled Site Bindings.

5. Choose the type that is applicable for the website.
6. Enter the new website name in the **Host name** field.
7. Click **OK.**

## Hosts File/DNS

For the website binding that was added in IIS to take effect, the Hosts File (on a local machine) or DNS server needs to have the site name used in the site binding added to it. For assistance in this configuration, contact the system administrator.

## Admin Console

To enable the redirection of websites, the HTML Redirects module needs to be configured in the Admin Console.

### Configure the URL Redirects Module

For a list of best practices and cautions, refer to the HTML overview article.

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Administration** > **System** > **URL Redirects**.
2. Click **Edit** for the URL that is to be configured.
3. In the **Old URL Column**, enter the URL of the old site that is being redirect
4. In the **New URL Column**, enter the URL of the new site where traffic should be redirected.
5. Click **Save**.
