Forwarding or Masking Your Domain Name

rigister now!
When you register a new domain name with GoDaddy.com or another registrar, you may consider forwarding that domain to a different Web site. For example, you may want to send visitors to your new domain to an existing Web site, but you prefer not to have to move your entire site to the new domain. Instead, you can consider forwarding your domain so all visitors are automatically sent to your current site’s URL. And if you want this process to happen stealthily behind the scenes, you can forward and mask the domain, so the name in the browser’s address field won’t change and visitors won’t know they’re being forwarded.
To illustrate this:
If you forward the domain coolexample.com to coolexample.net, then, when a visitor types coolexample.com into his or her browser, he or she will instead be directed to coolexample.net, and the URL in the address bar will automatically change to coolexample.net.
If, however, the domain is forwarded and masked, the user will still be sent to coolexample.net, but the URL in the address bar will remain coolexample.com.
If you want to forward or mask your domain from your Go Daddy account, this is what you do:
Go to GoDaddy.com and log in to your Account Manager.
In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
Select the domain name you want to forward.
Click Forward, and then select Forward Domain.
Select http:// or https:// depending on your server settings.
In the Forward to field, enter the URL you want to forward your domain name to.
To automatically update your name servers to accommodate your forwarding changes, select Update my DNS setting to support this change.
Note that activating this setting updates your domain name’s name servers and IP address. If you are currently hosting a Web site for a domain name and you forward it, visitors can no longer access your Web site. Instead, forwarding redirects your Web site’s visitors to the URL you enter.
To view additional options, including masking, click Advanced Options.
Select one of the following:
Forward Only — Specifies the length of time for this forwarding setting. Select one of the following Redirect types:

• I am permanently forwarding my domain — Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a “301 Moved Permanently” HTTP response. The HTTP 301 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has permanently moved.
• I am only temporarily forwarding my domain — Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a “302 Found” HTTP response. The HTTP 302 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has temporarily moved.
• Forward with Masking — Prevents the forwarded domain name URL from displaying in the browser’s address bar.
• Click OK.
