This is very useful when someone wants to point a domain to a free hosted application. Example: you build a website in a free hosting service or a free website builder service. And the website is hosted in a subdomain of that free service. And you don’t want your visitors to access that subdomain. You want them to access your domain instead.

It only applies if you have a hosting service. If you don’t, ask your domain registrar to point the domain to whatever url you want the domain to point to. Ask them to add a mask to the domain forward, so that the your domain remains always in the visitor’s address bar. In case you do have a hosting account, here’s how you can do that redirection. It’s called a Domain Iframe Redirect.

Upload an index.html with this code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Replace with title visitors will see if browser doesn't support javascript</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeTitle()
   {
   if (top.frames['main'].document.title)
      {
      top.document.title=top.frames['main'].document.title;
      }
   }
</script>
</head>

<frameset>
<frame name="main" src="http://replace-this-url.destination-domain.com"scrolling="auto" target="main" ONLOAD="changeTitle();">

<noframes>

<body>
Please enable iframe support in your browser to access this website.
</body>

</noframes>

</frameset>

</html>

Read the comments in the code. Replace what needs to be replaced. And you’re ready to go!
