2.5 How to Forward Your Domain to Another Location
 
Domain forwarding allows you to point multiple domains to a single website or to simply forward a domain to another location. For example, you can print www.yourdomain.org and www.yourdomain.biz to www.yourdomain.com. You can set up domain forwarding from the Domains menu tab.
 
Steps:
  1. Click the Domains menu tab to access the Domain Manager.
  2. Click the Edit icon under Forwarding Location for the domain you wish to forward.
  3. Enter the web address of the new forwarding location.
  4. Click the Modify button.
Note: In step 3 you can enter a web address, e.g. http://www.anotherlocation.com, a directory within your account, e.g /members/ (be sure to include the trailing slash), or a file within your website, e.g /about/me.html.

2.6 How to Set Up Subdomains
 
Subdomains allow you to segment your web site into various user groups or aspects of your business. For example, you can create a subdomain called members.yourdomain.com in addition to the standard www.yourdomain.com. You can set up subdomains from the Domains menu tab.
 
Steps:
  1. Click the Domains menu tab to access the Domain Manager.
  2. Click the Admin button adjacent to the domain name for which you want to add subdomain.
  3. Click the Sub Domain button.
  4. Enter subdomain name. By default, the domain name is already included.
  5. Enter forwarding location (optional). It is common to set this to directory within your website.
  6. Click the Add button.
