How to forward a domain

By Admin

A lot of hosting companies have tools tools to let you forward your domainĀ  to a specific URL. There are several ways that they do that and I#m not going to get into all of them. The important thing to know that if you are forwarding your domain to an affiliate website or to a product which you are a distributor of, this can cause loss of proper referral information.

Here is a safe way to implement forwarding:

Using an ftp program (there a lot of free ftp programs out there) or even your hosting companies cpanel or interface, upload a file called index.htm to your website. There should be nothing else in the directory.

all that the index.htm file contains is
<html>
<head>
<title>Caboodle</title>
<meta http-equiv=”REFRESH” content=”0;url=http://gocaboodle.com/freemobilesite”></HEAD>
<BODY>
</HTML>

In the title is what will briefly appear in the browser’s title before it’s forwarded. and the url= is where you want to send the person visiting your domain

Make sure that you have disabled the “”forwarding”of the domain with your hosting company before uploading the index.htm
