What is web forwarding?
Web forwarding allows you to get the easiest web address in the world, your .name address, while using any webpage host in the world.

If you have an existing website, you can use web forwarding to point your new address to your existing site. For example, if your old address is www.geocities.com/~ptermorgan22 and your new .name is www.peter.morgan.name, when your friends and family type in www.peter.morgan.name, they will see the site located on www.geocities.com/~ptermorgan22.

http://peter.morgan.name http://www.geocities.com/~ptermorgan22

Full portability
There are multiple websites offering good tools to create webpages. If you later decide to create a website with another tool, for example www.moonfruit.com, you don't have to tell your friends and family that your homepage has changed!

Simply use webforwarding, and www.peter.morgan.name (if that is your .name) will show your page now located on www.moonfruit.com/users/petemor4523.html (or whatever the URL is).

Therefore, quite like email forwarding, web forwarding gives you the power to change webpage host when you like, while always keeping the same address, your own easy-to-remember .name address!
