Domain Forwarding - domain registrar or web host?

    I want to forward some of my domains and I wonder what is better: Is it better to setup the forwarding for my domain where I have my domain registered or is it better to setup the forwarding in the cPanel of my web hosting account using the Domain Manager (Redirects)?

    What is faster?

    I am not a 100% sure what exactly you have in mind but I think making the forwarding at the domain registrar would be faster. The other option should practically mean to make kind of 2 forwards.

    I agree. It sounds like it would be easier for you to forward your domains from your domain host. Also if you have a hostgator baby account you can host almost unlimited domains and websites.
