Using the Free Web Forwarding

Login to Plesk

First login to Plesk. The login particulars will be included in the setup email you received from Weycrest. The login URL will always be in the form of https://yourdomain.com:8443. In our example the domain is httpsme.com so the Plesk login with be https://httpsme.com:8443

Once you login you will see your domain displayed. If you have registered several domains you should see all your domains included in your account. By default all registered domains are set to http://www1.weycrest.co.uk. To change the default web forwarding start by clicking on your domain

Change the Default Forwarding of Domain Name

The idea behind web forwarding is to point your domain to some other website you have hosted elsewhere. This might be a friends site or somewhere you have hosting arranged. This might be the free web space provided by your ISP for example, or perhaps some free blog hosting space you have with http://www.blogger.com or http://www.myspace.com

To change the default forwarding click on the setup icon:

Enter the Destination URL

In this case the box shows http://www.weycrest.co.uk. Change this to the URL of the space you wish forward. Remember to click the "OK" button when complete. ;o)
