What is "domain forwarding" ?
Although is a very strange sounding
term, "domain forwarding" is very simple. It is much like "call forwarding"
on a telephone. Lets use the example of Wolfglen Fly Fishing School.
His address is www.helloworld.com/wolfglen. So Jack used our domain registration
service to find an available name. He chose wolfglen.net. After making
this selection we then find the menu option "domain forwarding". We set wolfglen.net
to forward to http://www.helloworld.com/wolfglen. So now he has the shorter
name he desires. People looking for Jack's website can type in wolfglen.net or www.wolfglen.net,
it makes no difference.
In fact, your domain name can be forwarded directly to a particular directory or
function in an existing website. So if you already have a website, lets say
from bellsouth or comcast etc, your website name might be rather cumbersome right
now. E.G. members.bellsouth.net/pwp/r/a/racer148/graphics/ftr/default.html Who can
remember that? So, for example we purchase the name mydomainname.com, we set
it to forward to that big long name and tell everyone our short new name.
Best thing about buying your own domain name is that you can own it forever.
If you move, or change providers, you can move your actual website, but you will
not have to tell anyone. They will keep using yourdomainname.com and they
will never notice the difference.
What about my own
custom email address ?
A great feature about
buying your domain name from us is that you also get a free email account and free
email forwarding. What this means is that you can set up email to be yourname@mydomainname.com.
You can have all email sent to this address automatically forwarded to whatever
mail service you are using now, if you like. Or, you can set up your email
program (for example MS Outlook) to use yourname@mydomainname.com. We will
help you do this. It is quite simple and will only take a few minutes.
So what are you waiting for ?
Choose your name
and get started today for as little as $11 per year.
