Do you offer http redirects? What are they?

Yes, we offer http redirects. To learn more about HTTP Redirects and other Value Added Service, please click here. These essentially redirect a domain name to a separate directory of an existing account much like a subdomain (subweb). The difference between the two is that subwebs retain the second domain name in the browser, while http redirects display the new URL for the actual page being viewed.

For instance, if xyz.com is being redirected to abc.com/xyz, once the redirect takes place the browser location will show abc.com/xyz and NOT xyz.com, as a subweb would.

When someone types in your domain name, they will be forwarded to an outside destination URL of your choice and they will see the destination URL in their web browser. To set up your http redirect, login to your account and select "Domains" then "Domain Services" then "Web Service" located on the top left side of the page under the "Preferences" heading. Please note that in order to use our free "Value Added Service", your domain must be pointed to our default nameservers.

Another difference is that, unlike subdomains, http redirects can utilize most FreeCGI and CGI.
