Forwarding is used if you currently have a website online, but would like to point to it with another web address.

There are 2 types of forwarding available: (further definition below pricing)


'Standard' forward: Commonly used to redirect a .com address to a .com.au address.

'Frame' forward: Commonly used as a 'cost cutting' method to connect a professional 'www.yourdomain.com' address, to an address that is attached to a ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Further details & examples about 'Standard' & 'Frame' Forwarding:

Standard forwarding:
 

This is a pure redirection, where the web address in the address bar of your browser changes.

Main Purpose: Standard forwarding is usually used for businesses that want to secure their .com address as well as their .com.au address.

The following is a live example:
www.carhds.com is setup for a 'Standard Forward' to www.carhds.nt.edu.au
Click on the www.builderauctions.com link above & you will notice you end up at www.builderauctions.com.au

   
Frame forwarding:
 

Again, this is a pure redirection, except the web address in the address bar of your browser does not change. It stays as the original address that was typed in, giving the impression that you are using a full hosting service.

Frame forwarding should only be used as a cost cutting solution, there are many dissadvantages when using Frame forwarding & we only recommend Frame forwarding under certain conditions. Frame forwarding can also affect the performance of search engines correctly listing your website. For best results you should take out a Web Hosting plan instead.
