ABOUT

A small company for a small problem

Redirecting a domain you no longer use should cost a few minutes and a few dollars. Instead it usually costs a server nobody maintains, or a line item on an enterprise invoice. We built the boring, reliable version of that job and nothing else.

How it started

We were rebranding a product and inherited eleven domains from the old name. The options were a virtual machine running a web server that existed only to answer with a Location header, or an enterprise plan priced for a CDN we did not need.

We took the virtual machine, forgot about it, and a certificate expired eight months later on a Saturday. Traffic from the old domains disappeared for two days before anyone noticed.

RedirectDuck is the service we wanted that weekend: one DNS record, certificates that renew themselves, and a list showing which old links still bring people in.

One job, done properly
We are not becoming a CDN, a link shortener or a marketing suite. A redirect that never breaks is the whole product.
Boring beats clever
Certificates renew themselves, rules are validated before they go live, and the edge does the least work it can. Nothing here should surprise you.
Your visitors are not our data
IP addresses are truncated before storage, nothing is injected into a redirect, and we never build profiles across customers.
Support from the people who built it
Every email is answered by an engineer. If the answer is that our documentation was unclear, we fix the documentation.
Your old links deserve a new home.
