Forwarding a domain name or using DNS to point a domain name to a different hostname is a common technique used by webmasters to improve the performance of their websites. When a webmaster forwards a domain name, the domain name is forwarded to the web server that is hosting the website.

This means that the website can be accessed directly by the public rather than through the domain name server of the hosting company.

Forwarding a domain name is a simple process that can be done using a web hosting control panel. The web hosting control panel will typically allow the webmaster to create a new forwarding address, or to point a current domain name to a new forwarding address.

Once the forwarding has been set up, the webmaster only needs to update the forwarding address in the web hosting control panel each time the domain name is changed.

Using DNS to point a domain name to a different hostname is also a simple process. DNS can be used to change the hostname that is displayed in the web browser when a domain name is entered.

This hostname will be the hostname that is configured in the DNS server of the hosting company. To use DNS to point a domain name to a different hostname, the webmaster will need to add the new hostname to the DNS server of the hosting company.
