The user seeks to redirect domain Y to a specific page on domain X without incurring additional hosting costs. They implemented a JavaScript redirect on X's index.html, although this may hinder SEO effectiveness as search engines usually do not process JavaScript as reliably as server-side redirects. In contrast, a 301 redirect from the server is more effective for both search engines and user experience. Exploring options such as URL forwarding services provided by domain registrars or existing hosting providers could yield better outcomes without extra costs.
Using JavaScript for redirection is not ideal for SEO, as search engines may not always execute JS. It benefits from server-side redirects whenever possible.
A 301 redirect from the server side is more appropriate for SEO, ensuring both search engines and users are directed to the right page seamlessly.
If you can avoid purchasing additional hosting, consider using an existing service that allows URL forwarding, which would create a proper redirect without JavaScript.
Alternative solutions to consider include using a redirect service or setting up a URL forwarding option provided by many domain registrars.
