URL Redirection / Web Forwarding

 
The URL Redirection feature allows you to redirect traffic from your domain name to any existing website address.
This feature can be particular useful to people who have many domains and want to redirect all of those domains
to their main website address.

For example, this is how we use the URL redirection feature.  Our main website address is:  HostSite.com.
If you accidentally typed in a similar website address such as HostSites.com or SiteHost.com
into the web browser, you will be redirected back to the main HostSite.com website.
This is because we setup the redirection feature for HostSites.com and SiteHost.com
to point towards the main HostSite.com website.

See for how redirection works yourself using the example below:

http://hostsites.com goes to hostsite.com
http://sitehost.com   goes to  hostsite.com


As you see this, you'll start to understand how you can use our free URL Redirection to your benefit.
You can reroute traffic from your own domain names to your main website
so that your customers will have an easier time finding you on the internet.
You can even use this feature to reroute commonly mis-spelled variations of your domain name
back to your main website.

To setup URL redirection:
1. login Account Manager
2. click on "Domain Accounts" link
3. select the domain name you want to manage
4. click on "URL Redirection / Web Forwarding" link
5. The rest is self-explanatory at this point. All the details and instructions will be on that page.
6. Wait about 24 hours for the DNS Nameservers to propagate.
    After that, your redirection should be working.
