How does GoDaddy domain forwarding work?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 4:18 pm

Domain forwarding is a process where your website is hosted on a different server than your primary domain. This allows you to have a separate domain for your business, without having to purchase an additional domain name.

When you forward your domain, GoDaddy will create a new DNS record that redirects all traffic to your domain name to your new server. This means that your website will appear to be hosted on the same server as your domain name.

To forward your domain, log in to your GoDaddy account and select Domains. Under the domain name you want to forward, click Forwarding and then select the New Forwarding Method button.

PRO TIP: GoDaddy domain forwarding is a service that allows you to forward your domain name to another website. This service is provided by GoDaddy and is subject to their terms and conditions. When you use this service, you are responsible for ensuring that your domain name is pointing to a valid website. If your domain name is pointing to a website that is not valid, you may be subject to suspension or termination of your service.

Enter the new server name into the Server Name field and click Forward. Your website will now be hosted on the new server.

To verify that your website is forwarding correctly, enter your domain name into a web browser and click the GoDaddy domain name link. If your website is forwarding correctly, it will load without any issues.

In conclusion, domain forwarding is a simple process that allows you to have a separate domain for your business. GoDaddy provides easy steps for forwarding your domain, and verification is easy with a web browser.
