Yes. Our URL redirection service allows both a cloaking option and a standard 301 redirect.
Cloaking (also known as masking) allows you to redirect your URL whilst keeping your domain name active and visible in the users browser address bar. This is particularly useful if you host with a free provider and do not want your visitors to see the actual URL of your site.
As an example, if cloaking were enabled, a user would see this in the address bar:
http://www.mydomain.co.nz
Instead of this:
http://www.freehost.com/users/freehosting/index.html
NOTE :
Using cloaking or masking with iframes for URL redirection can have drawbacks:
