Domain name forwarding means exactly what it sounds like. You would like to forward or point a domain name to a website or another domain name.
IE: You have developed a website under the domain name mortgagefinder.ca. You recently found another great domain name efinance.ca. You would like to make it such that if someone types in the domain name erefinance.ca it “forwards” or takes the client to the mortgagefinder.ca website.
We recommend purchasing domain names from the following websites:
For .com names use http://www.mightydomains.com and for .ca names use http://www.domainsatcost.ca
Assuming you have purchased your domain names from these providers, here are the instructions for forwarding a domain name. If you have chosen to purchase a domain name from another provider, please contact that provider for instructions.
