Forwarding with masking is a feature offered by RedirHub that allows website owners to forward a domain or subdomain to another website or URL, while masking the original domain name in the browser address bar. This is useful in a variety of scenarios, such as:
Masking affiliate links
Website owners can use forwarding with masking to hide affiliate links, making them appear as if they are part of their own website. This can help to increase click-through rates and make the website appear more professional.
Branding
Forwarding with masking can be used to redirect a subdomain to a third-party website or service while keeping the original domain name in the URL. This can help to maintain brand consistency and provide a seamless user experience.
Shortening URLs
Long and complicated URLs can be difficult to remember and share. Forwarding with masking can be used to create shorter, more memorable URLs that redirect to a longer URL.
Redirection to third-party services
Forwarding with masking can be used to redirect users to third-party services or pages while keeping the original domain name in the URL. This can be useful when redirecting users to services such as UptimeRobot’s status page or Google Analytics report.
A/B testing
Website owners can use forwarding with masking to conduct A/B testing by creating multiple versions of a landing page and forwarding different subdomains to each version. This allows them to track which version of the page performs better.
To use forwarding with masking in RedirHub, users can simply create a new forwarding rule and select “forward with masking” as the type of forwarding. They can then enter the destination URL and the domain or subdomain they wish to forward, and the masking will be automatically applied.
In conclusion, forwarding with masking is a versatile feature that can be used in a variety of scenarios to enhance website functionality and user experience. With RedirHub, website owners can easily set up and manage forwarding with masking rules to redirect users to the desired destination while keeping the original domain name in the URL.
