How do I forward my domain but hide (mask) the address?

Linode Staff

I'd like to point my site [originaldomain.com] to a new site [forwardtodomain.com], but I want to mask the domain. How do I accomplish this?

DNS Forwarding is done through the domain's registrar, so you would need to configure this with the registrar for [originaldomain].

A registrar will have a way to forward domains using a 301 redirect (unmasked) as well as a URL Frame, which will be masked. GoDaddy has an excellent guide on how to forward your domain with masking enabled. This process is similar with other registrars such as Namecheap.

Please note, that you will need to change your NameServers to your registrar's if you want to use this approach.
