How to Redirect Mask With HostGator (15 Steps)


Navigate to the free Web Start Help masked forward-code generator endorsed by HostGator (see Resources).
Scroll down to the second section titled 'How do I create a masked forward? (frames).'
Type the title you want to appear at the top of your Web browser when someone visits your domain in the first field.
Type the full URL of the website where you want to redirect the domain in the second field. For example, if you want 'siteA.com' to redirect to 'siteB.com,' enter 'http://www.siteB.com' in the second field.
Click the submit button to generate the HTML code.
Launch Notepad from the 'Start' menu.
Copy and paste the HTML code generated earlier into the Notepad window.
Click 'File' and 'Save As.'
Type 'index.html' without the quotes for the file name and choose 'All files' for the file type. Choose the desktop for the save location. Click the 'Save' button.
Log in to your HostGator hosting account.
Click the 'File Manager' icon in the 'Files' section of the cPanel.
Select the site you wish to redirect from the 'Document root for' drop-down menu. This would be 'siteA.com' if you want to redirect from 'siteA.com' to 'siteB.com.' Click the 'Go' button.
Click the 'Upload' icon at the top of the screen.
Check the box beside 'Overwrite existing files' below the file upload fields.
Click the 'Browse' button and select the 'index.html' file from the desktop. Click the 'Open' button to upload the file and put the redirect mask in place.
