Forward Domains

If you have a forwarding package, you can send your domain name through the Control Panel in various ways.

The new options are described below:

Search engine optimally

Generally we recommend a 301 redirect as forwarding option.

Noframes text

          Previously, we had already implemented a number of adjustments for forwarding packages, including redirects with status codes (eg 301 permanent redirect) and additional fields for search engines. Since this weekend, functionalities have been added for forwarding packages, to optimize them for search engine ranking. Each forwarding package now has a noframes text field (if you use the frame forwarding), which makes it easier for search engines to index the page.

DocumentRoot

          You can also choose to change the DocumentRoot instead of forwarding it, so that the domain refers to one of your other websites. This is useful if you want to customize the web page that visitors see based on the domain (for example, you can define the language of your website based on the domain extension). Beware of duplicate content (ie 2 domains that have exactly the same content), that is bad for search results!
