Iframe Linking - (hiding the destination URL from the user)
This is a more advanced link cloaking option, where you can setup your own URL in your account and hide the destination from the end user.
** This behavior is different than a normal redirect. Using this redirect will NOT change the browser address for the destination.
URL frame forwarding can affect search engine results, so use it carefully.
To set up URL frame forwarding, use an inline frame (<iframe> element) to load the external content. Additionally, you should define some CSS styling rules to ensure the borders and margins are set correctly for the page. To do this, follow these steps:
- Using the file manager icon in your Insty hosting account to create and open the index.html file.
- Copy the following code and then paste it into the index.html file:
<html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <style> body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body, iframe { width: 100%; height: 100%; } iframe { border: 0; } </style> <body> <iframe src="http://www.example.com"/> </body> </html> - In the code, replace www.example.com with the site that you want to load, and replace Title with the title that you want for the page.
- Save your changes to the index.html file.
-
Use your web browser to visit your site's domain. The address bar should display your domain name, yet the page content should display the site you specified in step 3.
