Masking works with domain name forwarding. Forwarding redirects all Web traffic for a domain to a specific URL. When someone types your-domain-name.com into a browser, our system will automatically forward or redirect them to your selected destination URL.
Forwarding with Masking prevents visitors from knowing that they have been redirected by securing that your domain name remains in the visitor's browser's address bar when he/she is being redirected, thus concealing the actual destination address.
The Forwarding with Masking option further enables users to add a title, plus description and keywords Meta tag data to the masked site. Title and Meta tag information is important to a Web site’s search engine ranking, but does not influence how a Web site is being displayed.
To add masking to your domain name forwarding:
Step 1:
Log in to the DomainNameCom.com Account Manager.
Step 2:
Select Manage Domains from the Domain Names dropdown menu or the Manage Your Account list.
Step 3:
Select the domain you wish to modify by checking the box next to it, then click Forward Domains.
Step 4:
Under the blue Forward Domains heading on the right side of your page, check the box next to Mask Domain: and enter the title, description and keywords Meta data for the masked site.
Step 5:
Click SAVE SETTINGS at the bottom of the page.
Note: Masking is only available after you have set up domain name forwarding.
