What is domain forwarding or domain aliasing?

Domain forwarding (also known as URL forwarding, URL redirection or domain aliasing) is a service used for making a web page available under another domain name.

Example: If you have a domain named 'example.com' and you wanted to forward any visitors to www.gkg.net, you would set up your URL Forwarding so that anyone who types 'http://www.example.com' into their browser would be instantly redirected to 'www.gkg.net'.
GKG.NET, INC. offers URL Forwarding in our Parking Services. Both Basic (Free) and Deluxe ($2.95/year) Parking services have URL Forwarding features.

With Basic (Free) parking you get one (1) URL Forwarding option to define, and with Deluxe ($2.95/year) parking, you get up to 100 URL Forwarding options to define.
