FEATURES OF
FORWARDINGWEB
FREE URL FORWARDING
ForwardingWeb is a
forwarding service designed to
help you link your domain name or web address with a different page or site in
another location. This "Destination URL" can change whenever
you like, but your visitors will always be able to find your site using
your permanent address.
URL Forwarding is often
called "Redirection" or "Domain Redirection".
Unlike many other
forwarding services, ForwardingWeb offers both Domain and
Subdomain Forwarding, with cloaked and uncloaked options and unlimited
subdomains.
What Features Does
ForwardingWeb Offer?
We provide a range of free features that come standard
with your ForwardingWeb Account.
- Cloaking. Members can opt for their URLs to be cloaked or not cloaked. If you choose cloaking,
you long real URL will be hidden behind your domain or subdomain name;
- www.yourname.com or yourname.com Visitors can access your site with or without "www".
- Path Forwarding means that URIs (for example, http://www.forwardingweb.com/help/
is the URL, the URI is /help/) are forwarded, so if someone went to
www.yourdomain.com/links.html they would be forwarded to {your
destination URL}/links.html
- Subdomains. You can create special subdomains under your own subdomain or
domain ( for example, subdomain.yourdomain.com) which you can forward
to another site anywhere you choose. You can set up as many subdomains
as you wish without additional cost!
- Dynamic IP Forwarding. Members who want to host their sites on their own computers but have
dynamic IPs can use ForwardingWeb for a static URL;
- Visitors can make use of the Member Search to find members and
members can talk to each other through the Member Chat;
- And many, many more ....
More features are currently in development.
What is the difference between
Cloaked and Uncloaked forwarding?
Cloaked Forwarding displays your domain name in
the address bar of your visitors' web browsers, whereas Uncloaked Forwarding
displays the destination address. Cloaked URL Forwarding can be used to hide
your site's real address.
What is
Domain Forwarding?
If you have a free web
host, or your current web host doesn't host domains, you can set up URL
Forwarding to redirect your domain to your site.
Domain Forwarding works the same way as Subdomain
Forwarding, except you use your own domain name. If you don't have your
own domain yet, you can register it right now at our sister site, RegistryWeb.
What is
Subdomain Forwarding?
Subdomain Forwarding allows you to signup for a short
subdomain URL under one of our domains which, when accessed, forwards
your visitors to your site's real URL.
Why would you want this? Free
webspace providers often have long URLs like:
A forwarding service makes
it much easier for visitors to find and remember your site using your
new short and relevant ForwardingWeb URL. Also, you can change
web hosts in the future and keep the same URL.
What Will Be
My Site Address If I Choose Subdomain Forwarding?
If you don't have your
own domain name, you can choose a
subdomain under any of the following domains:-
- http://yourname.forwardingweb.com/
- http://yourname.connectingweb.com/
- http://yourname.linkingweb.com/
- http://yourname.redirectingweb.com/
- http://yourname.sendingweb.com/
- http://yourname.australia-web.com/
- http://yourname.newzealand-web.com/
- http://yourname.unitedkingdom-web.com/

Why Should I Join?
Some of the benefits of using
ForwardingWeb include:
- You can use free web space from your
ISP or a free web host, but hide their long or ugly address.
- If your host doesn't provide full
domain hosting, you can still set up your domain on your site.
- Your new URL is permanent, so you can
change ISP's or web hosts but keep the same address.
- You can point multiple domains or addresses at your site without
paying extra hosting fees.
- Your account is quick and easy to use, yet still gives you
lots of powerful features.
How Do You Offer Free URL
Forwarding?
Simple. We pay for this service by displaying one advertising banner
or NavBar on our members'
pages. Advertising revenue covers the substantial financial costs of
providing a FREE URL Forwarding service. If you wish, you can upgrade to Ad-free
Forwarding at any time.
