Domain forwarding or web forwarding
All domain name registrations and transfers receive free domain forwarding.
After you have ordered domain name forwarding, you will receive an email to let you know that it is ready to use. You can then follow the instructions below or watch domain forwarding video to set up the URL where your domain will be redirected to.
- Login to your domain name account with your username and password.
- Click on "manage domains" and select "edit" in the domain name field that you wish to edit.
- Click on "Hosting Control Panel" (link is near right hand corner)
4. Select "Home" (top left hand corner)
Under "Hosting" select "setup" (this icon looks like a house in front of the globe). On the next screen select 'standard forwarding'(recommended) or 'frame forwarding'. On the next screen (see below), enter the URL where you wish your domain to be forwarded to.
You would choose "frame forwarding", if you do not want your domain name to change URL. We recommend that you choose standard forwarding because framed forwarding will not allow your site to be crawled by search engine robots and hence your site will not be indexed and included in the search engines' databases.
Finally, if you have transferred your domain name in and not registered your domain name through us, you will need to navigate back to the 'name server' page and change your name servers before domain name forwarding will work. The easiest way to find this page, is to go to http://domains.passioncomputing.com.au/ , click on 'Manage Domains' and then click the 'Edit' link next to your domain name.
Changing your name server records
Change your name server records to (below) or then you need to click "update name servers" for the records to be updated. The only likely error you will get entering these details, is if you cut and paste in a space after the host names.

It will then take 24-48 hours to propogate these changes across the internet network but often much sooner.
We advise that if you want to see your domain name resolving to your website files sooner, do not be tempted to visit your domain name because your ISP will hold the old address (pre changes you have just made) in its cache. If you are concerned that you have not filled in the fields properly, log back in and navigate to these pages and check that all the information has been entered in correctly. Usually, if you return in a few hours and enter your domain name into the address bar of your browser, you will see the changes that you have made working
Problems
If you have any problems, please contact sales@passioncomputing.com.au from your registrant email address, and send the name of your domain, the destination url and whether you want standard forwarding or framed forwarding. If you do not indicate the type of domain forwarding we will choose standard forwarding.
Note:
Domain name forwarding does not come with email forwarding. If you wish to use the email addresses associated with your domain name, then we recommend that you buy email hosting with domain forwarding. Click here for email hosting prices. and you can set up your email accounts to redirect to any email address or just use the email addresses without redirection. It's up to you.
All email hosting plans come with free domain aliases, so you can add as many domains as you wish to these email accounts, provided that the domains are all transferred or registered with us. eg. if your main domain is registeraustraliandomains.com and you order email hosting for this domain, and you have another domain, register-domain-names.com.au , you can add the register-domain-names.com.au as a domain alias and when you set up the emall box sales@, email will work for both domains. ie sales@registeraustraliandomains.com and sales@register-domain-names.com.au will both be sent to the same email box. You can add as many domains to your email hosting, as you wish provided all the domains are registered or transferred to us.
