enom and url forwarding

Kazam · Mar 25, 2003

so I got my new enom account, bought some names nad now don't know how the url forwarding works. Can anybody help?

1) Click on the domain name.
2) Under DNS Settings on next page click on "configure".
3) Under "Record Type" change 1 and 2 to "URL Redirect".
Under "Address" change 1 and 2 to
http://www.yourdomain.com

The above assumes that the domain currently uses Enom nameservers, if not you will need to change nameservers to Enom first.

Further info by clicking on the "?" on top right of Enom page and going to Enom Support Centre - type in a question and select an answer.

Hope that helps

In case you just registered the name(s), it may take a few days fo the name(s) to reseolve consistently. This is the time it takes for newly pointing servers to populate.

under "Record type" choose either "URL redirect" or "URL Frame". It depends on what you want your visitors to see in the browser's location box. with URL Redirect, they will still see the original domain in there. With URL frame, they will see your new domain, but your page will be in a frame, so if they click on a link to go elsewhere, they might still see that same domain in their location box.

You will want to do that for 3 lines ... the ones that starts with www, @(none) and *(other).

If you don't do it for *(other) then you could lose a bit of traffic. But that will only happen if someone tries to get to your page by using a subdomain.
