Question
How to set up domain forwarding in Plesk?
How to redirect a domain to the subfolder of the anoter domain?
Answer
You can point one or more registered domain names to the same physical website, by using the domain name forwarding. This allows automatic redirection of visitors from the URL they specify in a browser to a site with a different URL. For example, visitors of the site example.com can be redirected to example.org.
Note: It is possible only in the Service Provider view.
This view is not available with Plesk Web Admin license.
Contact server's administrator or hosting provider support if this option is not visible with other licenses.
-
Go to Subscriptions > example.com.
-
Click Add New Domain button.
-
Specify the following:
-
In the Domain name box, type the domain name that you have registered with your service provider or a domain name registration company and from which you want to redirect visitors.
-
Under DNS server configuration, select the option Use our DNS settings.
-
Under Hosting type, select the Forwarding option.
-
In the Destination address box, type the URL address to which you want to redirect visitors.
-
Under Forwarding type, select Moved permanently (code 301) or Frame forwarding (difference between forwarding types is available here).

Video-instruction:
Warning: this way will remove all website data, so, it is recommended to create a domain backup first.
