What types of Domain Forwarding does Aplus.Net provide?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

I. URL FORWARDING $8.95 / year

URL Forwarding is a way to point your domain name to an existing website. There are no restrictions concerning the URL you will forward to.
Of course it has its drawbacks - when people type in your domain name in the address bar of their browser, after the redirection they will see the real website URL.

II. DNS SERVICE $5.95 / year

DNS Service is a more sophisticated service. It is a way to set the IP address of your domain (i.e. DNS A record). This is useful if you have a dedicated server, or your own infrastructure that you want to hook up to that domain name. It may be used also with some types of broadband services (cable, DSL, etc.), if your provider assigns a static IP address to you. Please contact your bandwidth provider for more information on the type of IP addressing used.

• I have a DNS Service plan. How can I manage my DNS records?

Important: Please note that in order to have a properly working URL Forwarder or a DNS Service plan, your domain name must have its name servers set to ns1.abac.com and ns2.abac.com.
