How Domain Forwarding Works

 

Keep Your Website. Add a Memorable .bond Address.

Domain forwarding allows a .bond domain to send visitors automatically to an existing website or a specific webpage.

You don't necessarily need to build another website or replace your current domain. Your .bond domain can simply provide another memorable way for visitors to reach you.

 

 A Simple Example

Municipal.bond → BamBonds.com*

A visitor enters:

Municipal.bond

in the browser.

The domain automatically sends the visitor to:

BamBonds.com

The visitor reaches the existing website without having to search for or remember the destination address.

 

How to Set Up Domain Forwarding 

The exact steps vary by domain registrar, but generally you:

1. Sign in to your domain registrar

Go to the account where your .bond domain is registered.

2. Select your .bond domain

Find the domain you want to forward.

3. Find the Forwarding setting

Depending on the registrar, it may be called:

Domain Forwarding • URL Forwarding • Web Forwarding • Redirect

4. Enter your existing website address

For example:

https://www.yourwebsite.com

5. Choose the forwarding type

If your registrar offers different redirect types, 301 Permanent Redirect is commonly used when the forwarding is intended to remain in place.

6. Save your settings

After the change takes effect, entering the .bond address should automatically send visitors to the destination website.

 

Why Use a .bond Domain for Forwarding? 

✓ Keep your existing website

✓ No need to build another website

✓ Add a memorable domain for marketing

✓ Direct visitors to a specific service or webpage

✓ Use the .bond name on advertising, business cards, email, social media or other marketing materials

 

 Test Your Forwarding

After setting it up, type your .bond domain directly into a browser and confirm that it reaches the correct destination.

Important: Domain forwarding options, terminology, setup procedures, timing, and availability vary by registrar and hosting provider. Follow your provider's current instructions before making changes.
