You can probably do this directly with your domain provider without involving a 3rd party. For example, Google Domains has domain redirection. I imagine most domain providers support that. Is there an advantage to using this forwarddomain service instead of your domain provider?

Automation. I mean if your domain nameserver is not set to its own domain providers, you'll lose this feature, there are many cases why you want to manage your own DNS or giving it to third-party (CloudFlare or something else) and it happens to my situation a lot.
