    Question What registrars support free masked domain URL redirection?

    Today I had a really great idea for a project based around making the personal sales of domain names incredibly easy for the user. For this to pan out, free masked domain URL redirection is extremely essential.

    I'm not an expert by any means, so I came to ask: What major/significant registrars support this? What major/significant registrars do not?

    Thanks for any help!

    Don't see why putting a domain on masked forwarding may help sales? Maybe I am missing something? Can you explain why?

    Anyway. GoDaddy and several others do not support it or never did. Fabuous did last year but made everyone remove it this year, which forced me to move some names away from Fab since it was important to use in those cases. Fab would not explain why but I think they assumed forwarded traffic was not good in some cases. It's been reported another major registrar (I believe sedo) is dropping its support soon. I believe Domain Sponsor still supports and I also know Parked.com still does. Not sure why the registrars don't like maked forwarding but its use is definately declining and may be gone one day.

    Sure they do David. I agree, I personally don't use the masking, but they do have it as an option. Just hit "advanced options" in the forwarding menu.
    All offers good for 72 hours except running auctions
