What types of Web Forwarding are available?

We provide three different types of Web Forwarding. These include:

Framed Web Forwarding
Choosing this option will redirect your domain to a single page or directory (e.g. yourdomain.com could redirect to http://myfreespace.freeserve.com/ or http://myfreespace.freeserve.com/familywebsite/). In this case, a frame is used so that your domain name will be displayed in the browser address bar even after the redirect. This address will remain the same, even as the user navigates around or away from your website.

Uncloaked Web Forwarding
This option is the same as above, except that the destination URL will be displayed in the browser address bar, and will change as usual when the user navigates around or away from your website.

IP Web Redirection
This option permits your domain to redirect to a fixed IP address (e.g. yourdomain.com will forward to a given fixed IP address, such as 212.196.101.101). This can be useful for hooking up your domain name to your broadband connection
