What is stealth forwarding?

Updated: 2025/02/26Viewed times: 30631

Stealth forwarding is similar to domain forwarding except the domain name stays in the web browser's URL bar instead of being replaced by the new page's URL. This is is why it is called "stealth" forwarding because it appears that the web page displayed is actually part of the domain.

So, say that you have a domain named myexample.org, and you want to use stealth forwarding to have your domain point to https://name.somedomain.com. When you use stealth forwarding, https://www.myexample.org will load the index page located at https://name.somedomain.com, however the https://www.myexample.org address will be displayed in the web browser's URL bar instead of the https://name.somedomain.com address.

Find out how to set up stealth forwarding. Please be aware there are some drawbacks to using stealth domain forwarding.

Stealth forwarding only affects the domain itself. If you want to set up email forwarding with your domain, that is done separately.

Dynadot provides domain forwarding, stealth forwarding, and email forwarding free of charge when you register or transfer a domain name to us.
