Back to Top Back to Top I registered the Domain Name & Free Domain Forwarding now I'm back to set up the Free Domain Forwarding. SETTING UP FREE DOMAIN FORWARDING Once you have the Domain Name registered & you've ordered the Free Domain Forwarding, then you can set up the Free Domain Forwarding so it links your Domain Name to an existing website (like your company's website or even the specific page about you on your company's website). ***************************************************** Decide which of these sentences apply to you and proceed accordingly: (A) "I want to forward my Domain Name to an existing website" (Example: www.MarkCuban.com forwards to the website for the NBA Mavericks). (B) "I want to forward my Domain Name to a specific page on an existing site." (Example: www.AlanDershowitz.com forwards to the specific page about Alan Dershowitz on Harvard Law School's website. If (A) applies to you, scroll down to (A). If (B) applies to you, scroll down to (B) ************************************************************ (A) "I want to forward my Domain Name to an existing website" Go to www.WorldsGreatestName.com. On the home page, click on "Current Clients - Log In." Then enter Log In Name. Hit TAB. Enter Password. Hit TAB. Remember Log In & Password are case sensitive. Then click on Domain Forwarding. Then click on Set Up Forwarding. Then put the cursor in the long white space where you can put where you want the Domain Forwarded to and type in http://www. (and then the Domain Name of the website where you want it forwarded to). So if it's Kraft Foods, type in http://www.KraftFoods.com and then hit SAVE SETTINGS. Scroll past (B) below to read important other notes. *************************************************************** (B) "I want to forward my Domain Name to a specific page on an existing site." Go to the specific page on the existing website you want your Domain to forward to. When you get there, look at the long white bar at the top of the page. That is the Domain Address of that specific page. It might be very, very long. Highlight the entire thing. Then while it is highlighted, hold down "CONTROL" Key on your keyboard and hit "C" at the same time. Then go to www.WorldsGreatestName.com, click on Current Clients - Log In, enter your Log In Name. Hit TAB. Enter Password. Hit TAB. (Remember they're case sensitive). Then click on Domain Forwarding. Then Click on Set Up Forwarding. Then put the cursor in the long white space where you can put where you want the Domain Forwarded to, and hold down the "CONTROL" Key on your keyboard and hit "V" at the same time. That long address you highlighted a few moments ago should pop up in that white space. Assuming it worked correctly, hit SAVE SETTINGS. And then LOG OUT in the upper right corner. You should be all set. ******************************************************************* Important Other Notes: (1) Remember, if you are setting up Domain Forwarding just a few minutes after registering your Domain Name, it's going to take 24-48 hours for the Domain Name to show up online. So even if you just did it right, it will take a day or two for it to show up. So if you just registered the Domain Name, after 24-48 hours, start typing in your Domain Name, and if you did it right, you will be re-directed to the website, or the specific page on the website, where you had it forwarded. (2) If at some point, you want to change where the Domain Name is forwarded (ie if you switch companies, and you want to re-direct it to the page about you on the website of your new company), simply repeat the steps above, except instead of clicking on Set Up Forwarding, click on Edit Forwarding. Erase the link where you did have it going to and type in the new one. So if you have BobSmith.com and it was going to www.KraftFoods.com, and now you want it going to www.AppleComputers.com, just erase http://www.KraftFoods.com, type in http://www.AppleComputers.com, then hit SAVE SETTINGS. Then give it about 30 minutes to kick in. Back to Top Back to Top Back to Top I registered the Domain Name. Now I'm back to begin setting up my own multi-page website. Now you need to build a website (or have it built for you) and select an ISP Provider (a Host). Think of it like this. There are 3 parts to the process: Domain Name (which you now have), having a website built for you by a web developer, or getting a do-it- yourself web-building program (that allows you to build the website)...and then a Host to whom you pay a monthly fee in exchange for putting your website 'up' on the internet where people can see it. The best way to proceed? It's such an individualized process that we'd say talk to friends and ask them for recommendations. In some cases, you can find a Host that has an inclusive web-building program -- meaning if you pay them the monthly fee to host your website, they provide you the do-it-yourself software to build the website. Make sure to ask: "What do I do to make sure my Domain Name is pointed correctly at your Server?" Back to Top |
