If Domain Parking is free, but redirection costs $10, why choose the second option?

Because if your hosting cannot permit the use of DNS, you cannot configure this in any way. When a web server is not configured for multiple DNS services, any domain pointing to their DNS will just show their front page. Furthermore, if your hosting uses long URLs (e.g. someserver.somehosting.com/somearea/subarea/0000/), it is better to have a short domain instead.

How do I determine whether I need Domain Parking or Web-Forwarding

It all depends on your hosting provider. Contact your hosting administrator, and ask him if you can use a domain name on your hosting plan. If you can, ask him the DNS and IP information, and modify it so it properly points to your hosting. If you can't, you'll have to use the alternate solution to point to your page from your domain name. That solution is Forwarding.

Can I redirect (forward) my emails attached to my Domain Name?
Yes, Email Forwarding allows you to create 3 e-mail addresses (aliases) for a registered domain name and have them 'forwarded' or redirected to a working e-mail address. The cost of the Email Forwarding service is $10 per year.

Using your own easy to remember domain name, E-mail Forwarding is the perfect way to mask a generic ISP e-mail address or a long, cumbersome address.


E-mail Forwarding is especially powerful for families and small businesses Here's how:

Families
Create an alias e-mail address firstname@surname.ca for yourself or for all members of your family and specify to what working e-mail address you want each alias e-mail address to be forwarded to.

If your working e-mail account changes, you simply need to contact us and change the forwarding details without ever having to inform your contacts that your e-mail address has changed!


Small Businesses and Home Businesses:
Create e-mail addresses (aliases) info@yourdomain.com or sales@yourdomain.net and specify to what working e-mail address you want each alias e-mail address to be forwarded to.

If your working e-mail account changes, you simply need to change the forwarding details without ever having to inform your contacts that your e-mail address has changed!

Can I redirect (forward) and Internet address and its traffic?
Yes, Domain Forwarding allows you to select an existing web page to forward all domain traffic to. Simply provide us with the URL (web address) you wish traffic to be transferred to and we'll do the rest! The cost of the Domain Forwarding service is $10 per year per domain name.

With Domain Forwarding, your domain name is forwarded to an existing website and a visitor's browser displays the existing website's URL in the address bar. Forwarding is a great way to consolidate traffic to one website.

Example:

You have an existing website at www.xyz.biz
You forward your related domains such as abc.org and efg.info to www.xyz.biz
When someone types www.abc.org or www.efg.info into the address bar of their Internet browser, they get directed to www.xyz.biz and they see "http://www.xyz.biz" in their browser's address bar.

When redirecting (forwarding) my Internet address, my domain name desapears in the address bar. Is there a way where my domain name can remain visible?
Domain Forwarding + Cloaking is a variation of Domain Forwarding. Cloaking hides the destination URL, while displaying the content of the site being forwarded to. The cost of the Domain Forwarding + Cloaking service is $15 per year.

With Domain Forwarding + Cloaking, your domain name is forwarded to an existing website and a visitor's browser displays your domain name in the address bar rather than the existing website's URL. Cloaking is perfect for those who have a long and difficult-to-remember web-address or for those who want to show they have specific websites for each product.

Example:

You have a website at www.myisp.com/xyz/
You forward abc.info and efg.net to www.myisp.com/xyz/
When someone types www.abc.info or www.efg.net into the address bar of their Internet browser, they get directed to www.myisp.com/xyz/ (i.e. they see the content of the website) but they see "http://www.abc.info" and "http://www.efg.net" in their browser's address bar.
