Most of people think that paying a lot of money for a
hosting service is the only way to have a domain name like yourname.com
or .net, .org, .it. That's
wrong!
With a domain name redirect
service (or redirection or forwarding) you
can simply register your preferred domain name and redirect
it to another web address, loaded on a free web
provider, such as the one you're connected to this
moment.
Your users won't know your real web address,
because browsers will show them the new domain name that you've registered (like
www.yourname.com), this thanks to the URL Cloacking.
You can have one or more e-mail forwarding,
too, like james@yourname.com , so all messages addressed to it will be
redirected to your usual e-mail box.
A web site supported by a redirect service can be
registered and indexed by search engines, because you can specify for the new
domain name the Title and the Description and Keywords metatags.
A redirection service is the
only way to have a professional and short domain
name (and not http://users.tripod.com/mysite/mypage.html) without incurring in extremely
expensive hosting costs.
Redirect services have not a wide circulation, because web providers get a lot
of money selling web spaces and hosting, but these are not for people who manage
web sites for no-commercial purposes o with a limited budget.
A new redirect service
is now on the web It offers you unlimited e-mail addresses, unlimited
subdomains, path forwarding and
free unlimited adjournments, too.
