URL Forwarding allows you to point your domain or subdomain name to an existing web site no matter where it is on the Internet. When any internet user enter your domain/subdomain name on browser address bar, he/she will be redirected to the web site of your choice. You can also turn on domain cloaking and your domain name will be preserved in the browser's location bar and no one will see the real web site address. This feature is great if you are using a free hosting service like Geocities.com, Tripod.com or your free web space on AOL. Or you will have to use this service if you ISP blocks http port 80 and you still want to host your own site at your home machine.
