7 replies
Prob. not a prog. question but if your a prog., you got more brains than I do.

I want to forward/mask a domain. I know it's very simple on GoDaddy but I'm trying to do it in Bluehost.

How do I forward/mask one of my domains?

Some kind of code I enter in the .htaccess???

Does anyone know how to do this or can anyone lead me to a place that clearly demonstrates how?

Help appreciated- been trying to figure this out for hours. Called cust. support and they couldn't even tell me how to do it.

    are you trying to forward a parked domain one of your site or are you trying to forward like yourdomain.com to a www yourdomain .com?

    There might be other ways, but I just checked a few domains I have with Godaddy that I use for 301 redirect to an affiliate link, AND I have their domain masking feature enabled. The resulting web page is actually a frameset. So even if you find a domain registrar that allows domain masking, you are still going to wind up with a frameset on the redirected page.

    Hello, I am also a BlueHost customer and this issue has been driving me nuts. I want to config .ntaccess for frame forwarding to hide the destination URL, but have not been able to find the right syntax. Were you able to find the code somewhere? Thanks, Ray

    GoDaddy just makes a domain forward to simple.

    I think you want to redirect one domain to the other domain. But want to display the first domain in the address bar. If so, use the below code and save that as index.htm under the root directory of the first domain.

    <FRAMESET ROWS="100%, *" COLS="100%">
    <FRAME SRC="your link here">

    <NOFRAMES>
    <H1>No Frames? No Problem!</H1>
    Take a look at our
    <A HREF="basic.noframes.html">no-frames</A>
    version.
    </NOFRAMES>

    </FRAMESET>
