Instructions for URL Forwarding and E-Mail Forwarding
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE!
Thank you for your interest in the free PowerPipe.com tools for URL forwarding, email forwarding, and DNS management.
Instructions for the free PowerPipe.com forwarding tools are below.
***** NOTE: CONDITIONAL FREE OFFER *****
The forwarding tools and DNS management tools are free ONLY for the technically savvy web professional who does not require our technical assistance.
Our deep-discount price structure allows us to offer you these free tools ONLY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM or can figure them out on your own by following the instructions below. We can not offer to you free one-on-one tutorials or free account configurations (our deep-discount cost structure simply does not allow for this full level of service). We appreciate your understanding and your acceptance of these terms.
Should you prefer (or require) technical assistance, PowerPipe.com offers a complete account configuration for a one-time set up fee of $21. A technician will create the proper settings for you for any of your domain accounts, and you can use the example as a template for future account configurations.
Alternatively, at your option, you may prefer that a PowerPipe.com technician always be responsible for forwarding your domains. Some customers opt to save the frustration involved in account set-up by paying PowerPipe.com to do the work for them. We applaud those brave souls for being honest, and we happily oblige them.
PowerPipe.com charges a very reasonable fee of $21 for account configuration services. Please order your account configuration HERE (select the "Account Config" Option) (...or attempt it on your own by following the instructions below.)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FREE URL FORWARDING:
Log in to your domain by going to www.powerpipe.com and clicking on "Your Account" tab, then clicking on Option#3.
Log in using your domain name (without www in front) and the password you selected when you first registered your domain.
Click on "Edit" under "DNS Information".
Select "Default" and click the "Save" button. Wait about 30 seconds while the system processes your request.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Forwarding features will not function until 24 - 48 hours after you submit the changes.
Next, click on "Edit" under "Host Records".
When forwarding a domain:
First Row: Under the "Host Name" column, enter the "@" symbol. Under the "Address" column, enter the full URL of the web site to which you are redirecting your domain. (A URL is a web address which includes "http://" ) For example, you could forward your domain to http://www.powerpipe.com/hosting.asp Note that "http://" is included in the destination URL. This is very important.
Select "URL Redirect" or "URL Frame" instead of "A(Address)" in the scroll-down menu. URL Frame will forward the domain but will replace the destination URL in the browser address bar with your domain. URL Redirect will simply redirect visitors to the destination URL you specify.
Second Row: Under the "Host Name" column, enter www. Under the "Address” column, enter the full URL of your destination address, and be sure to include "http://" in the address. In other words, you could forward to http://www.powerpipe.com/hosting.asp .
Select "URL Redirect" or "URL Frame" instead of "A(Address)" .
Click "Save" and wait 30 seconds before exiting the system.
(PS: You do not need to be concerned about setting the MX record info. The system will set the correct info by default when you click "Save")
NOTE: ALLOW 24 - 48 HOURS FOR THESE MODIFICATIONS TO BEGIN WORKING!
*********************************************************************
To forward email: this feature is very straightforward.
Simply forward from one email address to the destination email address. Use the asterisk character * for the Username for the catchall account. The catchall will direct all incoming email (except for any other Usernames you listed) to the email account you entered.
