With URL Forwarding/Forwarding,
we can send anyone trying to go to your URL (http://www.your-domain-name.com)
to your "real" website, wherever it may be on the web. Simply tell
us what your URL address is and we will forward any incoming requests
for your domain directly to your site. This enables you to have
a simple and easy to remember Web address. It also allows you to
move from one ISP provider to another. Save money and get the identity
you want!
URL Forwarding is especially great for making use of free
web space available from providers such as geocities.com, tripod.com and others.
All new domain registrations include: Free
E-mail Forwarding, Free URL Forwarding
and Free DNS Management.
How does URL Forwarding work?
With URL Forwarding you can use your domain as a website
address which directs visitors to any existing website on the Internet.
You can direct visitors to your website or another company's.
What's the difference between Standard and Stealth
Redirection?
There are two different types of URL Forwarding from which
to choose. You can apply either feature to any number of your domains.
Standard Redirection sends your domain visitors to any
website you specify. The true address of the destination website
- not your domain name - will display in the viewer's browser.
Stealth Redirection sends your domain visitors to any website
you specify, just like Standard Redirection, with one difference:
your domain continues to display in your visitor's browser when
they reach the website and while visiting any page in that website.
Can I use Meta Tags with Stealth Redirection?
As part of the Stealth Redirection feature, you can enter Title,
Keyword and Description meta tags for your Stealthed site. After
you've submitted your website to a search engine, the search engine
may use this information to index and describe your site. For more
information on submitting your site to search engines, and tips
for improving your site's ranking, see the How to Submit to Search Engines and How Search Engines Work tutorials.
Can visitors enter subdirectories after my domain?
Yes, but only if you are using the Accept and Display option.
This option allows visitors to enter file names or subdirectories
following your domain and be redirected to that subsection of your
destination website.
With the mydomain service you can have your files or subdirectories
displayed in the address bar as visitors browse your stealthed pages.
The domain must be set for Accept and Display with the mydomain
Stealth Redirection feature.
Then create the links in your website to use either "_TOP" or
"_NEW" targets as shown below:
<A HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/file.html" TARGET="_top">Your
Link</A>
The browser will reset the window with this new location.
What is the "Pass Subdirectories" option? This feature lets you decide
how you would like file path information entered after your domain
to be handled by our network.
Off
If you choose not to use "Pass Subdirectories", file names or subdirectories
entered after your domain will be ignored. Visitors will be directed
straight to the destination website you specify. For example:
For the domain: my-example.com
Destination address set: http://www.freehost4you.com/user
Visitor enters: http://www.my-example.com/file2.html
Visitor ONLY redirected to: http://www.freehost4you.com/user
Visitor NOT redirected to: http://www.freehost4you.com/user/file2.html
On
If you choose to use "Pass Subdirectories", then file names or subdirectories
entered after your domain will be used to access files and subdirectories
on your destination site. For example:
For the domain: my-example.com
Destination address set: http://www.freehost4you.com/user
Visitor enters: http://www.my-example.com/file2.html
Redirected to: http://www.freehost4you.com/user/file2.html
Which option should I choose?
If you chose to use this feature, visitors who enter inaccurate
information following your domain name will receive an error message
instead of being redirected to any part of your website. If visitors
enter subdirectories and filenames after your domain, they will
only be redirected if they have entered this information exactly.
If you chose not to use this feature, your visitors will not be
able to target specific files within your site. However, visitors
will always arrive at your destination website - no matter what
text they enter following your domain and even if they make mistakes.
