Do you provide domain masking?
No. We don’t provide domain masking at the moment.
What is domain masking?
Section titled “What is domain masking?”Domain masking (also called URL masking or framed forwarding) shows the content of one website while keeping a different domain name in the visitor’s address bar. It usually works by loading the other site inside a frame.
Why we recommend a redirect instead
Section titled “Why we recommend a redirect instead”Masking causes several problems:
- Search engines often ignore or penalise framed pages, which hurts your search rankings.
- Many websites block being shown inside frames, so the page may not load at all.
- Visitors can’t bookmark or share the real page address.
- HTTPS and security warnings are common.
What you can do instead
Section titled “What you can do instead”Use a redirect (domain forwarding). Visitors who type your domain are sent to the other website, and the address bar shows the destination address. See Managing domain forwarding for how to set it up.
