Domain Forwarding enables one domain name to automatically and instantaneously forward to another domain name. For example, let's assume myproducts.com is a domain name that you just registered, and you already own a web site that uses mybusiness.com as its domain name. By forwarding myproducts.com (which is just a domain name and not a web site) to mybusiness.com, you can advertise myproducts.com alongside mybusiness.com because they point to the same web site content.
Domain Forwarding is an effective advertising and search engine optimization tool.
