Forward a domain

Domain forwarding (also often referred to as connecting or pointing) lets you automatically direct your domain's visitors to a different location on the web. You can choose to forward your domain to a variety of places.

Note: Your domain must be registered with HostingDude.com in order to use domain forwarding.

1. Log into your My Products page.
2. If you aren't automatically directed there, make sure to select the My Products tab.
3. Next to the domain you want to use, click Manage.
4. On the Domains Settings page, next to your domain, click Use My Domain.
5. Click the Connect button under Connect to an existing site.
6. Choose from one of the following options to forward your domain name to:
• Websites (Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, WordPress, etc.)
• Social Sites (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.)
• Online Stores (Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, etc.)
• Media Sites (Instagram, YouTube, etc.)
• Forward To Any Site (enter the URL of your choosing)
7. Once you choose a forwarding destination, simply follow the instructions provided to connect your domain (usually by entering the URL of the site, clicking the Connect Domain button, or following the steps listed).

Note: It may take 24-48 hours for your domain to forward to an existing site.
