How to redirect to a different domain using NGINX?
server_name supports suffix matches using .mydomain.com syntax:
server { server_name .mydomain.com; rewrite ^ http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri? permanent;}
or on any version 0.9.1 or higher:
server { server_name .mydomain.com; return 301 http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri;}
server { server_name .mydomain.com; return 301 http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri;}

and
Why use the rewrite module if you can do return
? Technically speaking, return
is part of the rewrite module as you can read here but this snippet is easier to read imho.
server { server_name .domain.com; return 302 $scheme://forwarded-domain.com;}
You can also give it a 301 redirect.
