Services - Domain names

The web forwarding service allows to point your domain name to the URL of your choice. When a user will type your domain name in the browser's address bar, our servers will redirect him where the website is hosted.

Usage

You can give your site a custom domain name if you own a free hosting service (eg: a personnal space provided by your ISP).

You own several domain names and you would like them to be forwarded to you main domain or website. You can then catch the traffic of your secondary domains and redirect it to your website.

Our forwarding service

You can forward your subdomain to the URL of your choice with 3 forwarding modes:

• Direct forwarding
  The Internet user will be redirected to the URL of your choice, but the initial domain name in the browser's address bar will be replaced by the target address.
  
  
• Masked forwarding.
  The Internet user will be redirected to the URL of your choice but the initial domain name will stay in the browser's address bar. The URL's contents will then be displayed for the domain name.
  
  
• IP forwarding.
  All HTTP requests will be redirected to the IP of your choice. This means that you can host your domain name on your own server. You are then in charge of managing the HTTP server and distributing the pages to Internet users.
