URL Masking

Post by HaVoC »

I bought a domain and had it forwarded to where my site was being hosted. Yes I am very excited about it. However in the address bar it now shows my old URL. How can I make it so the .com address stays in the address bar. And if I do this will I have to edit any scripts that require the domain be changed?

If the domain forwarder is not the same provider as whomever does your web hosting, there's not much you can do.

If the domain forwarding provider is the same provider as whomever does your web hosting, then they can fix this for you.

So, speak to your web hosting company. It's probably just a matter of them setting up their side to recognize your domain plus you changing your DNS servers to theirs.
