What does forwarding a domain to a website mean?
The Domain Forwarding Process
This option redirects visitors to a destination of your choosing and keeps the destination URL in the browser address bar. For example, when people type in your domain name, they will be forwarded to an address such as onlinedestination.com and this address will appear in the browser.
Is website forwarding necessary?
Redirects are important because they: Forward traffic from one URL to another when the old URL no longer exists. Forward authority when backlinks point to a page that has been moved. Improve the overall user experience by ensuring visitors don't land on broken or duplicated pages.
How does DNS web forwarding work?
The DNS forwarder should be thought of as the designated server to which a particular subset of queries (either for external addresses or specific internal addresses) are forwarded by other DNS servers within the network. It then sends (forwards) those requests for resolution to other DNS servers.
What is domain email forwarding?
Email domain forwarding is when you set an entire list of email addresses for a website to forward on to a new domain address. For instance, you can have all the email for ggexample.com forwarded to ggexample.net. Something like this works great for those who decided to change the domain name of a website.
