DNS redirection service for additional domain names |
Its common to invest in multiple domain names and assign them to one website as a means to improve site traffic. Our hosting plans
accommodate this by including DNS service for additional domain names. In other words, if you have two domain names, we'll point them both to your website's homepage at no extra charge. |
