URL Gripper

The URL Gripper works with Web Forwarding to keep your custom Web address (http://www.your-chosen-domain.com) in the browser location box while visitors browse different pages in your site.

Benefits of the URL Gripper

• Hides the real addresses of your pages. These addresses may be long and complicated (for example, http://members.bigcompany.com/~username/page.html).
• Gives your Web site a more professional appearance. Your visitors see a cleaner, more memorable address in the browser location box.

Getting It

The URL Gripper is included with every new domain name registration. To register a new domain name, click here. You also get the URL Gripper when you transfer to, or renew a domain name with NameSecure.

TITLE AND META TAGS

Title and Meta tags are descriptive pieces of information that you can add to the HTML code of your Web pages. This information can help search engines accurately catalog your site. You can define Title and Meta tags to be automatically added to your site when the URL Gripper is turned on.

• Helps you get your site placed higher for search-engine queries that are important to you.
