I have a domain name at GoDaddy and have forwarded it to an external domain, using the settings 301 with mask.

However, when I go to my GoDaddy domain and press view source code then I only get that the page is embedded in a frame. Like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
  <title>TITLE HERE</title>
  <META name="description" content="DESCRIPTION HERE"><META name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS HERE">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="MYGODADDYDOMAIN.COM" frameborder="0" />
  <frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>

<!-- pageok -->
<!-- 04 -->
<!-- -->
</html>

How can I prevent this and get a normal redirect?

Instead of selecting forward with mask you need to select forwarding only. Putting it inside a frame is how they mask the domain the site is on.

  • Except with forward only the title will show the IP address. So, instead of placing it in a frame it will be displayed. – Mark Dotson Mar 20 '16 at 01:09
  • With forward only, they simply provide HTTP headers and no HTML is specified by GoDaddy. In this instance the browser title should be specified by the Your title here in the head section of your HTML, otherwise the browser may determine its own title based on the host part of the URL and this can vary between different browser vendors. – richhallstoke Mar 22 '16 at 13:36
