    Hello friends,

    I am having one question regarding forwarding the url for parking.

    There are two options to park your domains.
    1. Transfer the dns.
    2. Forward the url.

    Now I have tried the second option for parking my domain that is forwarding the url to parking company. I am using namedrive so I have forwarded my domain to www.ndparkingcom/domainname.com.

    Now is it necessary to use my registrar company's DNS when I am forwarding the url ?

    I have my domain registered at namecheap. They dont allow me forward or redirect the domain until I set my DNS to their own DNS.

    I want to ask that it is not possible to forward the url to parking company using different DNS than its registrar ?

    I need some more explanation in details about this.

    Thanks

    Most registrar services have an option to forward your domain to any given URL while keeping the registrar's DNS.

    I have never registered a domain with namecheap, so can't tell you anything else about it, but if they are providing you with a parking page, something that other registrars also offer, you can add to that page a meta refresh redirection to the URL or create a framed page.

    Otherwise wait for someone using namecheap ;)

    Thats what I am telling. I have to use registrar's DNS if I want to forward or redirect my url to parking company. Is this right ?

    Is it possible to forward url to parking company without using registrar's DNS (using other DNS)?

    I haven't used Namecheap, but I think that you might have the DNS & Nameservers confused.

    You would need to change your Nameservers to the ones given to you by the parking company.

    I think nameservers and DNS are the same terms.

    I dont want to change nameservers. I want to redirect the domain (2nd method of parking).
