# How to Forward a GoDaddy Domain to Your Website

How to forward an extra domain registered at GoDaddy to your AgentFire website with a permanent (301) forward, and what to check first.

If you have an extra domain at GoDaddy, like an old website's domain, you can send its visitors to your AgentFire website, or to one page on it, with a **permanent (301) forward**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Only do this on an extra domain, never the one your AgentFire website uses.** GoDaddy says adding forwarding switches the domain to GoDaddy nameservers if they're somewhere else, and changes and locks its main address record. If this domain has email or another website on it, or AgentFire manages its settings, email <support@agentfire.com> before you click Save.
{% endhint %}

## Set up the forward

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the extra domain

Sign in to GoDaddy, go to your **Domain Portfolio** and click the extra domain.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Go to Forwarding

Click **DNS**, then **Forwarding**, then **Add Forwarding**. Choose **Domain**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter where it should go

Choose **https\://** and enter the page's public address, like `yourdomain.com` or `yourdomain.com/about-maria`. Copy it from your website in a browser, not from the editor.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose Permanent (301) and save

Choose **Permanent (301)**, not **Forward with masking**, then click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Most forwards work within an hour, but it can take up to 48 hours. To forward `www.` too, GoDaddy says its CNAME record has to point to `@`. GoDaddy's own guide is [Forward my GoDaddy domain](https://www.godaddy.com/help/forward-my-godaddy-domain-12123).

## Test it

Open a private browser window, type the extra domain and check you land on the right page. Try it with and without `www.` in front.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>Why not use masking?</summary>

Masking keeps the extra domain in the address bar, but your website doesn't work properly inside it. Pages may not load, and Team Link sharing and lead tracking can break. Use **Permanent (301)**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The forward goes to a page that doesn't exist.</summary>

Check the page is still on your website and copy its address again from your browser. Then edit the forward in GoDaddy.

</details>

<details>

<summary>GoDaddy asks me for DNS records to point the domain to a website.</summary>

You don't need those for a forward. Use **Forwarding**, not the website connection.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My domain is somewhere else, not GoDaddy.</summary>
