Option 2: Domain Forwarding With Masking (Recommended)

Domain name masking works hand-in-hand with domain name forwarding. Here's how it works:

Domain masking simply hides the destination web address when you use domain forwarding. This makes it appear as though your website really is located at the forwarded address and not the actual address.

For example, let's say you forward domain1.com to forwarded-to.com. To add masking, you would tick a box that says "Mask Domain". Once you do that, your users will never see the forwarded-to.com address. They will only ever see domain1.com. Even as they browse the website, they will only see the domain you want them to see.

If you already have domain forwarding, it's not too late to add masking!

By adding masking to your forwarded domain, you can hide the true URL from your users - even after they reach your website. Here's an explanation.

When you just use forwarding (without masking), the forwarding address will not appear in the browser's address field after the forwarding is completed. In other words the user can see that they are being "redirected" to the other website. On the other hand, when you add masking, the forwarding address will always remain in the browser's address field and hide the real destination's address.

In addition, the "Mask Meta Tags" feature allows you to enter title, description and keywords Meta tag information for the masked domain, which can be important to a Web site's search engine ranking.
