    Google question

    I just submitted a domain for Google to crawl. However, that domain doesn't have its own Hosting - it forwards to another address. (Pretend the domain is NotTheRealDomain.com; it forwards to something like randomo.net/NotTheRealDomain.html)

    Will Google still crawl it correctly? And will the site's rankings be helped by the domain (a one-word generic .com), even though that domain forwards to another address?

    Thanks.

    I would be happy to analyze your website and use run a few tests to see how I think Google will index it.

    I can also take a few moments to evaluate your website for internal search engine optimization. (This allow you to see if your website would be considered relevant to search engines.)

    I would like to take a look at your website so that I can offer accurate advice.

    Why don't you just use a TLD (Top Level Domain) or a Sub-Domain Name?

    Well, don't I need a separate Hosting account for each TLD? I just have one hosting account, which is why I set up the forwarding like that (randomo.net/WhateverDomain.html). I have no experience with subdomains, but maybe that would make sense here(?).
