FAQs

Domain forwarding, also known as URL forwarding, is a process that redirects visitors from one domain to another. It’s useful in scenarios such as rebranding your website, consolidating multiple domains to a single site, or creating easy-to-remember redirects for marketing purposes. For example, if you change your website’s primary domain, you can forward your old domain to the new one to ensure visitors land on the correct site.

Yes, before setting up domain forwarding, you should have access to your domain’s DNS settings through your Bluehost account or domain registrar. Additionally, your domain name registration must be active. Ensure you understand how DNS management works and have the necessary credentials to make changes

Typically, Bluehost offers free domain forwarding as part of their domain management services and WordPress hosting plans. There are usually no extra charges for forwarding a domain if you already have a Bluehost account and domain registration. However, if you purchase additional services or upgrades, there could be associated costs. Always check your specific plan details.

Domain forwarding for web traffic is different from email forwarding. Bluehost provides separate email forwarding services that allow you to redirect emails sent to your domain’s addresses to other business email accounts. You cannot forward email through domain forwarding settings; instead, set up email forwarding within your Bluehost control panel’s email management section.

If not configured properly, domain forwarding can impact your SEO. Masking or using “cloaked” redirects can confuse search engines and negatively affect your rankings. To preserve SEO value, it’s recommended to use a 301 redirect, which is a permanent redirect signaling to search engines that the page has moved permanently. Proper setup ensures your site retains its SEO advantages and avoids potential penalties.

Implementing domain forwarding correctly helps retain your site’s SEO authority. Use 301 permanent redirects where appropriate. Avoid masking as it may cause duplicate content issues. Monitor redirects with analytics tools to ensure proper traffic flow and search engine visibility.
