What is Domain Name Forwarding and How Do I Use It?

You may have heard of domain forwarding, but do you know what it really means or how to use it?

Unless you've been under a rock...(for a while), I'm sure you know what a domain name is. Simply put, forwarding a domain name is like the signs you see at the end of streets, pointing you in the direction of the house that's for sale. It's not in the yard of the home for sale, but directing people to that home. In this case, it's the sign that tells the internet where to go to find your site. So, instead of saying, "visit my site: sallyurbans.crossfirelite.com", you can say, "visit my site: http:// sallyurbans.com". When people type in http:// sallyurbans.com, the internet will see the directions and take the visitor to your site!

Why this is such a good thing. Think about this, what is easier to remember: sallyurbans.com or sallyurbans.crossfirelite.com? Obviously, the first choice, and your potential clients will agree. You want it simple as can be for your clients to remember...or they may not be able to find you again. A client that forgets your site is no longer a client. That's why domain forwarding is a good thing.

I recommend GoDaddy for getting a domain name, if you don't already have one. They are easy to use and their support team is friendly and very helpful. So, in the case you have problems locating the "forward domain" links, they are there for you!
