With SmartyHost web forwarding service, you can forward a domain name to a web page on any other domain. For example, you can forward the source domain name to http://destination_domain_name or http://destination_domain_name/page_name.
Things you'll need
- User name and password for the Account Manager or the Package Manager
The web forwarding will work only if the domain name has been delegated to SmartyHost name servers.
- If you purchased the domain name through SmartyHost, the domain name should have been delegated to the SmartyHost name servers.
- If you purchased the domain name from another company, you need to contact that company to find out where the domain name is delegated to.
