Set up Discord forwarding via domain

Join Discord Server via domain

It is assumed that an own domain as well as an own webserver/webspace is available.

To be able to reach a discord server via your own domain, a .htaccess file with a corresponding forwarding rule is required.

For example, the domain example-example.de/discord should enable a forwarding to the discord server.

Step 1

Create the subdirectory "discord" on the web space/web server:

Step 2

Creating the ".htaccess" file on the web space/web server:

Step 3

Create the forwarding rule in the ".htaccess" file:

Important with the forwarding rule is that the original domain is "exchanged" for another one. So in the forwarding rule "example-example.de" has to be replaced by the own domain and "https://discord.gg/A6e4jyg" by the own discord server address.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?beispiel-example.de
RewriteRule (.*) https://discord.gg/A6e4jyg [R=301,L]

Values that must be changed:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?***OWN-DOMAIN***
RewriteRule (.*) ***OWN-DISCORD-DOMAIN*** [R=301,L]

After saving, the forwarding is immediately active.

Step 4

Test forwarding:

If the domain/discord is now accessed, a redirection to Discord should take place.
