I don't like the long web address. How do I change it to something simple?
Some people want to be able to pass along a web address that is easy to remember. Unfortunately, FreeToastHost does not give you that option. However, there is a way around it. You can buy a domain name of your choice for your club and point it to your FreeToastHost address. Here's how you do it:
- Go to a site like Yahoo.com, Godaddy.com or other websites and purchase the domain name of your choice.
- Your domain name will come with a control panel. Log in to your control panel.
- Look for a section that says, "manage domain."
- You should forward your new domain name to your freetoasthost website. The instructions on how to do this will be in your domain control panel.
- I would recommend doing a Masked Forward so that people get used to the web address for your club.
