Domain Name Forwarding

If you already have a domain name registered with us you can set-up domain name forwarding using the online form located here , alternatively you can search for a new domain name and register it online and then arrange domain forwarding once the registration process is complete. If you only require a domain name registering at the moment for later use then we will park it for you on our servers at no extra cost. All you pay is the price of a domain name registration as forwarding is free! If you want to move an existing domain name you already have registered from another ISP then please see our transfer a domain name page which will help guide you through the step by step process. We handle everything for you and you can call support for free to discuss your requirements anytime on 0800 169 3266.


Domain Name Forwarding is also known as Masking, Cloaking, Pointing or simply Web Forwarding, the service is provided free to all UK Superweb customers.

Let us say you have already created and published a website at:

www.ntlworld.com/company/~user/index.htm

...location: your ISP's free web space. This name is to long to remember and is definitely not something you want to put on a business card. You need something more professional.

Even if your online presence is for personal use rather than business use, a domain name with domain forwarding would come in handy. An address like the one mentioned above is impossible for your friends to remember and you.


To start you need to register a domain name and this can be done online for £9.98 for 2 years (co.uk). Your domain name should be something easy to remember and something that reflects your company's name or what your company does. For personal use we suggest co.uk or .me.uk domain names if you reside in the United Kingdom for business we suggest. co.uk and .com to protect your interests.

Now that you have a commercial domain name you are looking and feeling more professional. Setting up domain name forwarding will send users from your new domain name, to your old, hard-to-remember address, automatically!

• Fast Performance - Nothing beats the request serving speed of our domain forwarding service.


• Hide Destination URL - You can hide the destination URL in any domain forwarding order by enabling URL Masking. This way any long destination URLs remain hidden from the surfer and your brand identity remains consistent.


• Search Engine Optimisation Compatibility - You can setup the HEAD tag content, in order to provide META tags and TITLES for search engine optimisation. You can also setup the NOFRAMES tag content for compatibility with browsers that do not support frames.
