How to Have Numerous URLs for Your MySpace Layout

Some musicians have been discovered by record labels through their MySpace page.

Having several URLs for a MySpace page is possible through URL redirection and URL forwarding. URL redirection is a service that all domain servers provide. Rather than having the URL connect to a website, it forwards the URL to the MySpace page. Domain names generally cost less than $10 to register. The user can register and redirect as many URLs as she wants to her MySpace page.

Things You'll Need

• URL ownership

Instructions

1. Register all the URLs that will redirect to the MySpace page. There are hundreds of domain registration service providers, and price should be the most important factor when considering a provider. For a list of domain registration services see references.

2. Configure the domains. Once the domains have been registered, use the registrar's administrative panel options to configure the domains. Every registrar will have these features. Set the domain to forward or redirect to the URL of the MySpace page. It should be as simple as clicking the forward option and entering the URL of the MySpace page.

3. Wait for the changes to register. This should take less than half an hour. Visit the domains that are forwarded to test and see if the changes took place. When the domain is entered it should instantly redirect to the MySpace page.
