What is Web Forwarding and how can I use it?

Web Forwarding is similar to Email Forwarding, as it provides a facility for you to use an existing website with a new Domain Name that is "parked" but not formally hosted. For example, if you already had a website at www.my-business-name.co.uk and then purchased the unhyphenated version of the name - www.mybusinessname.co.uk - you could use Web Forwarding to direct traffic from your "parked" but non-existent www.mybusinessname.co.uk website to the website that exists - www.my-business-name.co.uk. Thus you can create the illusion that the unhyphenated www.mybusinessname.co.uk website exists when in fact it doesn't exist in reality.

This facility can be very beneficial for a business that registers its Domain Name with as many of the different domain-extensions as possible, eg, co.uk, com, biz, etc. Instead of creating a multitude of similar sites to cover all the domain-extensions owned and then getting each site individually hosted, it is far simpler, cheaper and less trauma in terms of site maintenance to create just one site, and use Web Forwarding to direct all the other Domain Names to the single site.
