Login using you customer number and account password (if not already logged in). Login is located on the godaddy.com homepage and is on the right-hand column.
Near the top, in the green bar, all the way to the left reads a button “Domains.”
Move your mouse pointer over the text, a menu will appear and then click on “My Domains”
The next screen shows a list of your domains, in my case I have several, the one I will be using for this example is located at the bottom of the picture below – YourHealthYourWay.net
Click on the domain that you wish to edit.
At the top of the screen is a “forward” button, you will find a box similar to the one below:
Click on the icon labeled “Forward.”
You should see a menu appear similar to the one below:

You may have to click the check box next to “Enable forwarding” in order to enter the information.
A similar menu should be seen:

Check the box next to “Enable Masking.”

You’re all done! It should take a couple of hours before the redirect begins to work, sometimes up to a day, especially if you have just bought your domain, it will take about a day to redirect.
You can now log out or repeat the process for another domain.

You may have to click the check box next to “Enable forwarding” in order to enter the information.
- 1. Enter the web address that you want the domain to forward to, usually a long and hard to remember web address (reason you are forwarding, right?) In this example I am having it forwarded to my MaxGXL website: http://www.maxgxl.com/######
- 2. Click on the radio button labeled “301 Moved Permanently” (after a day of setting up the domain, if you still have problems with forwarding the domain, follow the previous steps to get to this point and select “302 Moved Temporarily” instead.)
- 3. Click on the “Masking” Tab
A similar menu should be seen:

Check the box next to “Enable Masking.”
- 1. Enter a “Masked description Meta tag” of what your website offers (this appears in search engines). You want to try to keep this as short as possible. The one I use below is a bit on the long side, so keep it shorter than the example. Since the website I am forwarding to has to do with energy & weight loss, I used:
- a. MaxGXL provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body's own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. Increasing your glutathione level will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system.
- 2. Enter the “Masked Title.” This is the text that will appear at the very top of your browser’s window. In your current window at the very top, you should see “Domain Manager – Domain Details” or something of the like, this is the Browser Title. For my purposes I simply just used: MaxGXL
- 3. Enter your “Masked keyword Meta tag.” Here you enter keywords, this is used in search engines to find your website. For the example I used:
- a. maxgxl max gxl vitamin nutrient nutrients body health glutathione weight loss new years resolution energy better detoxify detox loss accelerator
- i. You may wish to add as many as 15-20 keywords; however, I would not use more than 20 keywords. As you create the keywords make sure they have a space in between each keyword.
- 4. Click on the “OK” button. You should receive a confirmation similar to the one pictured below:

See my other domain tutorials:
Coming Soon:
- Creating an e-mail address that associates with your domain. (exe. YourName@YourDomain.com)
- E-mail Forwarding or Webmail.
- Submitting your domain/website to search engines.
- Fixing the www… problem: (when http://www.YourDomain.com is typed in the address bar, but does not forward to your domain, but http://YourDomain.com , does work).
- Creating Sub domains. Exe: http://argentina.msbaylor.com , the “argentina” is a sub domain to msbaylor and can be redirected to another web address. Common uses are used for blogs, photos, videos, etc.
