Do I need hosting if I only want to mask and forward a domain?

Ethan W. · 04-30-2009, 07:24 PM

Do I need to pay for hosting fee's through godaddy if I want to mask my domain as well as forward it?

Or can I just buy it for 9$ and thats it?

Joe Walter · 04-30-2009, 07:33 PM

No, u only need to purchase the domain name

DrewG · 04-30-2009, 07:43 PM

It's just $9, look for URL forwarding or URL redirection within GoDaddy..if not, check out NameCheap =)

do I need private registration or is public (free) just fine for masking/forwarding?

They'll both work just fine for what you're doing.

Oh my word Ethan, you need some professional help my fine young man. You're asking some very technical questions about url protocol. Get some expert help young man or your going to screw up this entire deal.

All the best,
Beatrix

Most of the registrars are offering 'Domain forwarding service' for free. So ask your registrar on how to forward your domain. I am sure they will provide you a technical guide to do this.

Ethan,

I know that this is not directly in answer to your question BUT ...

Never EVER, register your domain name with the same company that you have yourweb hosting with.

This is just for future reference. Always "point" your domains from your registrar to your host's server. No need to concern yourself with the reason why for now.

Not sure though why you are considering masking your domain though.

Good luck with your ventures,

Regards,
Jeff Henshaw.
