Picking the right Domain name
While we are still in our Domain configuration I wanted to take a moment away from SEO to talk about domain redirecting. In case you have already setup a redirect of a domain or want to do that with your new domain we will cover and see how to do that on GoDaddy in this video.

00:02Alright, so while we're still in our domain configuration for LearnXML now, you might
00:07have made a redirect, if you haven't, or maybe you want to make a redirect until you're
00:13ready with your website.
00:14So although this is something specifically that I did on my domain because I bought it
00:18a long time ago and I redirected it to a different website of mine into my blog, I want to show
00:23you how you could cancel it or how you would set it up, how could you buy a domain and
00:27redirect it to a specific page on your site.
00:31So to do that, all you have to do on GoDaddy is find inside of your domain details your
00:35forwarding area.
00:37Just click on manage.
00:39Once you click on manage, it's incredibly simple.
00:41A menu, a wizard menu opens up and you can see that I'm forwarding my domain to my blog
00:46post.
00:47But really what I want to do is, first of all let me cancel out, what I really want
00:50to do is I want to remove this redirect and I don't want to forward.
00:55So okay, I'm going to delete this forwarding and now I've deleted the forwarding.
00:59You can see that these changes might take an hour or up to 48 hours.
01:04Now don't worry about that because we're not going to even check if it works yet.
01:07Our next stage is to configure our FTP and see how do we access and configure our domain
01:13to work with GoDaddy itself, which we're going to be doing in our next video.
