What is the wrong way to set up URL Forwarding or Framing?

The most common error people make is they set forwarding up to forward to the same domain name that they are setting forwarding for. If you don't understand that statement it is because it was "looping" and that is the same thing that anyone's browser would do when they tried to access your website. You can't set yourdomain.com to forward to yourdomain.com. You also can't set yourdomain.com to forward to yourdomain.net AND THEN set yourdomain.net to forward to yourdomain.com. That will cause the same problem and your web site will never show up in a web browser. You must only use "www" and "@" in the "host" fields and nothing else for forwarding/framing!!! DO NOT USE www.yourdomain.com in the host field as this will not work!
