Masked or Unmasked URL Forwarding
Depending on how you want your domain name to display in the browser, Domain.com offers two types of Free URL
Forwarding to fit your needs.
Free Masked URL Forwarding
Masked URL Forwarding forwards your domain to any URL that you would like. The true URL of the website does not appear in the address bar of a user's browser and the domain name being forwarded appears in its place.
When to use Masked URL Forwarding:
- Forwarding to a longer URL If you have created a profile at a social networking website or a free site that gives you a long URL, register your own domain and forward it these longer URLs. Your users won't have to memorize a long URL, instead they can just type in your domain. Masked URL Forwarding will hide the long URL so your users only have to type in the domain you registered at Domain.com.
Unmasked URL Forwarding
Unmasked URL Forwarding forwards your domain to any URL that you would like. The true URL of the website will appear in the address bar of a user's browser. Unmasked URL Forwarding is great for people that have multiple domains and want to forward it to their main website but want the user to see their main website's address.
When to use Unmasked URL Forwarding:
- Protecting your Identity If you already have a .com domain, to protect your online identity, register all domain extensions like .net, org, info, biz, us, and mobi and forward these domains to your main .com address. If a user types in the .net address, it will forward automatically to the .com domain and show the user the real .com address. This will ensure that your users will reach your website and know what the true address
is for future surfing.
- Domain Misspellings Register all misspellings for your domain name and forward the misspelled domain names
to the true URL. If the user types in the misspelling, they will automatically be forwarded to the correct
website, with the correct address.
Email Forwarding - Free
With Domain.com's email forwarding service, you can create email addresses for your domains and forward
them to any other valid email address. Forward up to 250 email addresses for your domain.

Email Forwarding from Domain.com
What is it? Forward emails addresses using your domain to any other valid existing e-mail addresses. You can
also add a "catch-all" address that will forward any mail sent to your domain that does not have a valid e-mail
address to an e-mail address of your choice.
Please view the chart below to see example of how Email Forwarding works
- Local Address
- oburseth@yourdomain.com
- nreaves@yourdomain.com
- catchall
- Destination Address
- oburseth@anotherdomain.com
- nreaves@anotherdomain.com
- admin@anotherdomain.com
- If an e-mail is sent to oburseth@yourdomain.com it will forward to oburseth@anotherdomain.com.
- If an e-mail is sent to nreaves@yourdomain.com it will forward to nreaves@anotherdomain.com.
- If an e-mail is sent to lkajsd@yourdomain.com (or any other invalid address at your domain) it will forward to admin@anotherdomain.com.
