Domain Forwarding is like “Hall of Mirrors”. You go in, and you think you’re heading in one direction only to find out – Whop! – that was a mirror, and suddenly you’re headed in a different direction all together.
URL Redirection is the basic domain forwarding service.
Domain Redirection also known as Domain Forwarding and URL Forwarding service, lets you point your existing domains or new domains to your Website hosted anywhere in the world. You can point your domain to your site including Sub-directories. (e.g. yourdomain.com -> www.existingdomain.com/abc) and forward emails to your existing Mailbox.
Domain Forwarding is used to forward any visitors to your domain name to any destination of your choice. Anyone who enters http://www.your-forwarded-domain.com will be redirected to any other website of your choice.
One can simply register a domain name, update the name server information and forward it to their actual site.
If you enable URL/domain Masking, then visitors to the domain name will be forwarded to your destination website, however the URL in their browser address bar will remain the same. This will ensure that your visitors see the original domain name and not the destination URL
You may want to set a page title and META Tags for the frames page which is sent to the Client. This can be done by simply putting in your Meta Tags and <TITLE> tags in the Header Tags box. Whatever you enter in this multi-line box will be output in between <HEAD> </HEAD> tags on the FRAMES page sent to the visitor.
Sub Domain Forwarding is very unique and like extra domain forwarding address. In this when a visitor goes for http://subdomain.domainname.com will get forwarded to http://yourdestination-URL/anysubdomain.
Underneath are the advantages of Domain Forwarding:
- You can point multiple domain names to one URL.
- You have longer web site address replaced by shorter web address.
- You can move your site, while keeping the same URL.
- It helps you to drive the traffic.
- You can put any site on work, whether the page is working or under construction.
- It can be redirected to web page on the same server or different server.
- Incurring the costs normally associated with Web hosting.
