If you have a domain and wish to forward it to another URL then you have two options:
1) Standard Forwarding
2) Frame Forwarding
Frame Forwarding will forward the user to the site you desire, but the original URL will remain in the address bar.
Example: mydomain1.com forwards to mydomain2.com
Address bar: should show mydomain1.com
Standard forwarding will forward the user to the site you desire, and the URL will also change.
Example: mydomain1.com forwards to mydomain2.com
Address bar: should show mydomain2.com
To set up forwarding just follow these steps:
Please note that changing hosting on a domain will remove any application vault installations that may be on that domain, and it will not be recoverable, so a backup may need to taken if needed
