This option is very useful, especially if are moving a website from one domain\/sub-domain to another.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pointer1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16601 alignnone\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pointer1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"914\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s assume you had a web page hosted on a domain on your AwardSpace server (e.g. domainname1.com) and you wanted its content to be shown on another domain name in your web hosting account (e.g. domainname2.com). To create a redirect, you would need to change the hosting (directory) path for the second hostname from <strong>\/home\/www\/domainname2.com<\/strong> to <strong>\/home\/www\/domainname1.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frame Redirect<\/strong> (also known as <strong>URL Masking<\/strong>) \u2013 this type of forwarding allows you to redirect a web page to a remote web address (URL).
