Frame forwarding a domain


Frame forwarding is a technique similar to domain redirection, but with this method the visitor's browser will show your domain name and not the target address.

For instance, if a visitor types mydomain.com in the address bar of the browser, and you have set up a forward to anotherdomain.com, the visitor will automatically be sent to anotherdomain.com and the browser will display mydomain.com.

Domain frame forwarding is especially useful if you have a site with a long, complicated address. You can register a simpler domain name and then forward it.

How to frame forward a domain

  1. Click Products in the top menu.

  2. Select the domain from the drop-down menu.

  3. Click Domain and then Forwarding.

  4. In the Frame forward panel, select the host you would like to use in the corresponding drop-down list. If you have previously registered A or CName records in your zone file, those will appear listed here. If not, the host www will appear as default.

  5. Select whether you would like to use a http or https protocol in the corresponding drop-down list.

  6. In the Destination field, enter the URL address to which you want to forward your domain.

  7. Enter a Title, a Description and Keywords describing the content of your site. Those will be used by search engines to rank your site.

  8. If you wish to add a favicon to your site, enter the location where the favicon is going to be retrieved from. First select whether the location uses a http or https protocol and then enter the URL location of the favicon.

  9. Click Add.

The frame forward has now been setup and the visitors of your domain will be forwarded to the destination you have specified.

Tip! You can also edit and remove existing frame forwards by clicking the respective links in the Actions column.
