Configuring Standard Forwarding

Configuring a standard forwarding service is easy; it requires setting only three parameters:

1.      You access this page when you create Hosting services on a domain using standard forwarding. Use this page to set up or modify the hosting account.

2.      Select the IP address type to be used for hosting, Shared or Exclusive. Then, select a valid IP address from the drop down list. The list of IP's will display available IP addresses of the selected type in a client's IP pool.

3.      Click in the Destination URL text box and enter or edit a URL address. Users will be redirected to this address when they access your client's domain on the web. The URL change will be visible in the browser.

4.      Click UPDATE to save your changes and return to the Domain administration page. Clicking UP LEVEL will discard all changes you made and return you to the Domain Administration page.

Configuring Frame Forwarding

Follow these steps to configure frame forwarding:

1.      You access this page when you create Hosting services on a domain with frame forwarding. Use this page to set up or modify the hosting account.

2.      Select the IP address type to be used for hosting, Shared or Exclusive. Then, select a valid IP address from the drop down list. The list of IP's will display available IP addresses of the selected type in a client's IP pool.

3.      Click in the Destination URL text box and enter or edit a URL address. Users will be redirected to this address when they access your client's domain on the web. The URL change will not be visible in the browser.

4.      Click UPDATE to return to the Domain Administration page. Clicking UP LEVEL will discard all changes you made and return you to the Domain Administration page.
