For domain forwarders, which automatically redirect visitors to alternative registered domains, follow similar steps:

To add a domain forwarder, select "Add Domain Forwarder" instead of "Add Forwarder" in the Forwarders tool.

To delete a domain forwarder, select "Delete Domain Forwarder" instead of "Delete" in the Forwarders tool.

Remember that you cannot modify existing forwarders, so if you need to make changes, delete the forwarder and create a new one.
