  I would like to point ellicottcityartwalk.com to ellicottcityartscoalition.com. The old one is hosted by godaddy.com. I tried doing it but I think it took me to a registration page where I pay to have you host it which is not what I am trying to do. Please advise. Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I think what you’re looking to do is to forward your domain using GoDaddy.com’s domain forward feature. They have a help article on how to do this right here:

  Let me know if this isn’t what you were looking for!

  Thank you!
  I did what you said, how long does it take to reflect the change?

  That would be a question for GoDaddy, since it is within their network and it involves setting something up within their system. However I can tell you that any DNS change (which this involves, I believe) generally takes between a few minutes and a few hours to full propagate for .com domain names. So it could be up to that long for that part of the equation at least.
