Does GoDaddy offer domain forwarding?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 4:32 pm

Domain forwarding is a feature that allows you to have your domain hosted by GoDaddy, and have forwarded traffic to another domain hosted by another provider. This is helpful if you have a domain that you use for your business, and you would like to have it hosted by GoDaddy, but you also want to have it hosted on a different domain so that your visitors can visit it using a different URL.

There are a few things to consider when forwarding a domain: the name of the domain you’re forwarding, the name of the domain you’re hosting the domain on, and the DNS settings for the domain. You’ll need to find the name servers for the domain you’re forwarding, and then update the DNS records for the domain you’re hosting with the information from the name servers.

PRO TIP: GoDaddy does not offer domain forwarding. Any domain that is registered with GoDaddy cannot be forwarded to another domain.

Once you’ve completed the forwarding process, you’ll need to configure your browser to use the new domain. You can do this by going to the address bar and entering the new domain name, or by using a domain name manager like GoDaddy’s Domain Manager.

Overall, forwarding a domain is a simple process that can help you keep your business separate from your personal website. However, be sure to read the instructions carefully before you begin, and be sure to test the forwarding process on a small scale first to make sure everything is working properly.
