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.
