I'm currently hosting the Wayback Archive snapshot of the domain on Netlify.

I will soon redirect the entire domain to my money site.

How do I do it?

I don't see this wildcard redirect feature in Netlify.

The domain's registrar is Namecheap, and I don't think they allow wildcard redirects.

Using Cloudflare will leave a giant footprint as my other sites are also hosted on the same nameservers.

What should I do?
 
Namecheap allows you to do a full 301. Goto the Advanced DNS tab and you should see the option.

Test thoroughly though. It's not perfect.

Or else use a free DNS host like ClouDNS - https://www.cloudns.net/

Does it wildcard redirect all pages?

abc.com/test --> xyz.com/test

Or does it redirect all pages to the destination domain?

I haven't used Namecheap as a redirect mechanism before. But I can see the Wildcard option on that page.

You might be better off using a free dns host though for better control.
