What is Domain Masking?
How do I set it up for my forwarded domain?
Forwarding with Masking prevents visitors from knowing that they have been redirected by making sure that your domain name remains in their Web browser's address bar. You can also add a title and meta tags to your masked domain. Title and meta tag information is important to a Web site's search engine ranking, but it does not change the look of your Web site.
*Note: You must enable forwarding to use domain masking.
**Note: CafePress may have problems with domain masking and Internet Explorer - make sure you read their FAQs to see if this problem has been fixed before you mask your domain. It apparently causes problems on checkout, and we want our customers to check out!
