Web Forwarding allows multiple sites to look like a single site. You can register misspellings, alternate extensions (e.g., .biz, .net, etc.) and/or abbreviations and then forward them to a primary Web site. When masking is activated with Web Forwarding, visitors to the Web site will only see the domain name (or URL) they typed in the address bar of their browser, not the domain name where they have been forwarded. Visitors aren't aware that they are being sent to a different Web site, regardless of where they are within the Web site. Adding Web Forwarding to a domain name will automatically convert any domain names of type Registration to type Advanced DNS.

To add Web Forwarding and Masking to a single existing domain name:

1. From the Network Solutions® Partner Portal home page, click the Order Services tab at the top of the screen, then click the Add Web Forwarding link.
2. To add Web Forwarding to a domain name, enter the domain name (example: mydomain.com) and click the Go! button.

   By selecting Advanced Search you can also search for the domain name. The Advanced Search feature searches by a variety of criteria, including wildcard searches, date ranges or uploaded text files of domain names. Results will return only domain names that do not have Web Forwarding. Once you have found the domain name you wish to add Web Forwarding to, click the box in the "Select" column of the domain name search results. Select the term you would like for Web Forwarding from the drop down list, and click the Go! button.

3. This will take you to a new page where you can enter the destination web site address (the primary web site or URL), check the box by Mask Destination to activate the Masking feature, and select the term you would like for Web Forwarding. You also may turn Auto Renew "On" for this service by selecting "On" from the drop down list. Click the Go! button. Please note: You cannot add Web Forwarding for a term that would put the total term over 10 years. When added through this flow, the Web Forwarding expiration date does not synch with the expiration date of the domain name. Click the Submit button to complete the addition of Web Forwarding.

To add Web Forwarding to multiple existing domain names:

4. Your search results will be displayed in a table on the following page(s). Results will return only domain names that do not have Web Forwarding. Select the domain names you wish to edit by clicking the box in the "Select" column, or click the All button to select all domain names, and select the term you would like for Web Forwarding. You also may turn Auto Renew "On" for this service by selecting "On" from the drop down list. Click the Go! button. Please note: You cannot add Web Forwarding for a term that would put the total term over 10 years. When added through this flow, the Web Forwarding expiration date does not synch with the expiration date of the domain name.
5. This will take you to a new page where you can assign a single destination Web site address (or the primary web site URL) for all selected domain names by entering the address and clicking on Set All, or you can assign a unique destination URL for each selected domain. Then you can select all check boxes or individual boxes under Mask Destination URL to activate the Masking feature. Click the Go! button.
6. You will be presented with a list of the domain names you added Web Forwarding to and the term for Web Forwarding. If this information if correct, click the Submit button to complete the addition of Web Forwarding.

Web Forwarding can be added to domain names during the registration process as well. See How To Register Domains. Please Note: For newly registered domain names, it may take up to 24 - 48 hours for your Web Forwarding to be activated. For domain names that have been registered for 48 hours or more, it generally takes up to 12 hours for your Web Forwarding to be activated.
