Hi @LittleTurquoiseShip,

For redirect old IP to a new hostname:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name 111.111.111.111; 
    return 301 $https://www.new_host.com$request_uri; 
}

If you want to redirect to another ip:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name my_hostname.com; 
    
    location / {
            proxy_pass http://123.123.123.1:$server_port$uri;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Hope helps you, Sergio Turpín

Hi @LittleTurquoiseShip,

You can add the redirect in your website’s Nginx config, in your main server block for port 80 and 443, you can add the something like the following:

  1. return 301 $https://www.new_host.com$request_uri;

This redirect needs to be somewhere around your server_name(right under it for an example).

The file you can edit is /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/Domain-Name.conf where Domain-name.conf is your actual conf file. It can be named a lot of things.
