How to Hide URL Code
When creating a website, you may wish to mask or hide the URL of the site from a user. Although not recommended by many website professionals as it can erode your site visitors' trust, you can accomplish this by using the HTML "<frameset>" code. Frames allow you to place the content of another site within a website, which effectively hides the URL of any site you place within a frame on another site.
