www to ww1 redirect

Advertise on BHW
In cloudflare, go to page rules -> Click Create Page rule -> enter the following (replace domain.com with your domain):
Code: 
If URL matches: www.domain.com/*
Then the settings are:
First Field: Forwarding URL
Second Field: 301 - Permanent Redirect
Third Field: https://ww1.domain.com/$1
Click save.

Now Create a page rule again.

Code: 
If URL matches: www.domain.com/
First Field: Forwarding URL
Second Field: 301 - Permanent Redirect
Third Field: https://ww1.domain.com/
Click save.


That should do it.

P.S.: Depending on your website CMS/Framework, you might also need to add the new site URL, e.g. ww1.domain.com
P.S. 2: You need to make sure that ww1.domain.com works. You will need an A record pointing ww1 to the IP (leave TTL as auto). You can do this from the DNS settings in your CF.

Not if you used cloudflare name server. It can also be done through the htaccess/cpanel, but CF is much more cleaner. Do check my updated reply again. I have added a couple of catches there, and fixed the typo'd https scheme.

You will need to change your site URL from the settings/db, otherwise you will end up with "too many redirects" error probably.
 
doesn't google automatically know you did a link exchange? or is this their way of going around google's ban?
 
First create page rules.
Then add A record to ww1.domain.com in cf. then it will be done right?

Thank you.

First add A record with name:ww1 to your website IP. Let it propagate properly before attempting the page rules (generally takes a day). Once you have the record propagated, then attempt creating the page rules. Otherwise, your users will have downtime.

First of all, this should be done after the A record has propagated.
Go to your phpmyadmin. Go to the db -> go to wp_options table -> look for option_name = "siteurl" and "home" and replace them with the new url (make sure there is no trailing slashes after domain.com.. The sql might look like this:

Code: 
UPDATE `wp_options` SET `option_value` = 'https://ww1.domain.com' WHERE `wp_options`.`option_name` = 'siteurl';
UPDATE `wp_options` SET `option_value` = 'https://ww1.domain.com' WHERE `wp_options`.`option_name` = 'home';

By the way, this can seriously break your site if you do not do it properly. So, beware, and do not blame me please. :p
