Hi,

Do you have access to the IIS configuration? For now it seems using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/httpredirect/ is enough for what you need.

According to your description, I suggest you could try to add url rewrite config in web.config file.

I suggest you could add below config codes inside  <system.webServer>.

Notice:Paste the following code at the new line, replacing [RULE NAME], [OLD URL] and [NEW URL] with the appropriate information (see Rule Variations below). When putting in the [OLD URL], don't include the http:// as that will not work.

<rewrite>
  <rules>
     <rule name="[RULE NAME]" stopProcessing="true">
     <match url="(.*)" />
     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="[OLD URL]" />
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="www.[OLD URL]" />
     </conditions>
     <action type="Redirect" url="http://[NEW URL]" redirectType="Permanent"/>
     </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

More details about how to create url rewrite rule, I suggest you could refer to below codes:
