forwarding DNS or redirect Website ?

[name1234]

I hosted 2 websites on other server. I have point all the website to my another static IP CentOS server. But I want to redirect website_1 and website_2 to website_3.(With different domain name)
what can I do ? forwarding DNS or redirect Website ? anyone can give me some suggestion.

If website_1 and website_2 have been *succesfully* and *completely* (databases, files, config) migrated to the same server that already hosts website_3,
then pointing dns to the new IP should be preferable.
Redirecting would introduce an unneeded dependency, higher latency and reduced availability.

I hosted website_1 ,website_2 and website_3 to website hosting company. If I ask them to forward website_1 ,website_2 to website_3 they are going to charge fee but if they point website_1 ,website_2 and website_3 to my server it is free. So I am trying to find out how to forward website_1 ,website_2 to website_3.

Now I am confused.
Is there a third server involved?

Up to now, my understanding was:

Server A:
- website_1 (e.g.: www.website_1.example)
- website_2 (www.website_2.example)
Server B:
- website_3 (www.website_3.example)

My suggestion would lead to:
Server B:
- website_1 (www.website_1.example)
- website_2 (www.website_2.example)
- website_3 (www.website_3.example)

This needs db, file and config migration,
as well as dns for website_1 and website_2 pointing to the IP of Server B



But maybe I didnt understand your setup correctly.
Can you please illustrate the current situation and the two alternatives?

i think Server B all hosted one server (Because I hosted the website in the hosting company). All website now redirect/point to my server nth in here (NO db, file and config). but I want when user type website_1 or website_2 redirect to website_3.

can u understand it ? ths for the help !

Ok, so there seems to be no data migration needed.

(NO db, file and config)

You just want to have the content of www.website_3.example also be available via www.website_1.example and www.website_2.example

Then the mentioned DNS config should be enough.
To illustrate:
www.website_1.example has IP 1.2.3.4
www.website_2.example has IP 1.2.3.5
www.website_3.example has IP 1.2.3.6

After the config:
www.website_1.example has IP 1.2.3.6
www.website_2.example has IP 1.2.3.6
www.website_3.example has IP 1.2.3.6

If the webserver of website_3 is a apache,
you would need to define two ServerAlias

e.g.:
ServerName www.website_3.example
ServerAlias www.website_1example
ServerAlias www.website_2.example

i just want user type in website_1 or website_2 will redirect to website_3 page. But the webserver I hosted website_1, website_2 and website_3 only allow me to point website_1, website_2 and website_3 to one static IP (my another server at office nothing in this server). What can I do after website_1, website_2 and website_3 pointed to my office server to do the effect when user type in website_1 or website_2 will redirect to website_3 page.

I don't hv any permission to control website_1, website_2 and website_3 webserver only allow to ask them point website_1, website_2 and website_3 to my office server.

Not, the webserver I hosted website_1, website_2 and website_3 only allow me to point website_1, website_2 and website_3 to one static IP (my another server at office nothing in this server).
