Ask Best way to redirect vanity domains?

[Brajet]

We are a SAAS company that offers vanity domains for our product. For example, instead of going to www.ourdomain.com/mycustomer, we allow customers to come up with their own "vanity domain" such as CompanyProduct.com which just immediately redirects to www.ourdomain.com/mycustomer.

We're looking too move all of these vanity domains into CloudFlare. I transferred one as a test to see how this would work:

This works great, but is there an easier/better way? Basically I want all requests to vanitydomain.com (with or without the www) to go to www.ourdomain.com/customer

Use Cloudflare Page Rules for Redirects
Cloudflare makes this very easy. For each vanity domain, set up a Page Rule that matches *vanitydomain.com/* and performs a 301 redirect to https://www.ourdomain.com/customer. This works for both www and root domains if you set the DNS correctly (CNAME for www, A record or CNAME for root). It's fast and doesn't require hosting.

Cloudflare makes this pretty straightforward! The easiest way is to use DNS and Page Rules:

Set up a CNAME record for www pointing to www.ourdomain.com.
Add a redirect rule in Page Rules to forward all traffic from vanitydomain.com/* to https://www.ourdomain.com/customer.
Make sure you set this rule to Forwarding URL and select a 301 redirect.

This way, all requests (with or without www) are handled automatically, and no server-side configuration is needed. It saves time and ensures all traffic flows properly.
