How do I buy Domain Forwarding from adps-domain.com?
We provide domain-forwarding service to you free of cost.

When you opt for this option, we setup domain forwarding for your domain name on our servers. After this service is setup, if someone types registered-url.com in ones browser, our servers forward the request automatically to the URL of your choice.

To activate this feature free of cost, please send a mail to support@adps-domain.com. Your email must contain following information
1. Domain name that you registered with us
2. Domain name to which you want to forward the browser requests

You automatically loose this service when you transfer your domain name to a different registrar. You may need to purchase it separately from the other registrar. Before transferring your domain name, you should make sure that the registrar offers this service free.

Must read before setting up an addon domain
You cannot create an addon domain if your dns hasn\'t proprograted to the server already. So after you change the sites dns you are trying to add you will need to wait 24-48 hours before attempting to create your addon domain.

There are three fields cpanel asks for when creating an addon domain.

"New Domain Name:"   You will put in the newdomain.com do not put www in the name!

"Username/directory/subdomain Name:" This will be the folder cpanel creates in your main accounts ftp. MAKE SURE that the name you give it doesn\'t already have a folder. Example... If you want to give it the username chris. You cannot have a folder in your account named chris already. If you do and still try creating the username for the addon domain to be chris you will mess a lot of things up!!!

"Password:" fill in any password you want here.
