Redirecting your registered DOMAIN NAME to your parish website

The directions below are based on the assumption that you have used http://www.godaddy.com/ to register your domain names.

Before you get started, be sure that you know your ParishWorld.net homepage URL address. Example: http://myparishname90000.parishworld.net/

If you don't know what this is, Call our customer service at (866) 288-0713.

Go to www.GoDaddy.com

Enter your Customer Number and Password. The one that was provided to you by GoDaddy.com.

Once you are logged in, Click on the word "Domains" on the left side and pull-down the menu and go to "My Domains".

A list of all the domain names that you have registered will appear.

Example:
mydomain.com
mydomain.org
mydomain.net

Check the box next to each domain name that you want to redirect.

In the tool bar above, click on the GREEN RIGHT ARROW - "FORWARD".

You will be choosing "Forwarding", NOT Masking.

Check the box for Enable Forwarding and type in your target URL (which is your ParishWorld.net home page address).
Example: http://myparishname90000.parishworld.net/

Then, check the box for "301 Moved Permanently" and click OK.

The window will display: Your changes have been submitted. Please allow a few minutes for the changes to take effect.

Click OK and Log out.

Allow about an hour, then check all of the domain names you have forwarded to see that they are redirecting properly to your ParishWorld home page.

If you have a problem, please call us.
