Hi,

The simplest way to redirect people would be to just create a dns cname record for example.com redirecting to test.example.com. Please note you would need to make an a or aaaa record at example.com for the redirection to go anywhere.

Adding an A/CNAME record isn't enough -- you also need to configure your webserver to actually redirect users from example.com to test.example.com.
