: URL redirection from united-domains to free webspace (bplaced.net) bad for SEO? I have the following URL at united-domains.de: ffm-nachhilfe.de. Currently I use the Webspace from united-domains.de
I have the following URL at united-domains.de: ffm-nachhilfe.de.
Currently I use the Webspace from united-domains.de (I am still in the first free month) but after the first month it will cost 4 Euro per month which is not few for a poor student. Consequently I want to use free webspace instead.
I found www.bplaced.net/ where I can get 2GB webspace for free. I like this. Under "Address for CNAME" I found for my account at bplaced.net the following address: richard87.bplaced.net
If I understand correctly I would now need to redirect my URL ffm-nachhilfe.de on the homepage of united-domains.de to this address.
As I can see I now have three choices:
Header-Redirect (this would be suicide, because then everybody
would read for example "richard87.bplaced.net/kontakt.html" as he
actually should read "ffm-nachhilfe.de/kontakt.html". Did I
understand that correctly?)
frame redirection (disadvantage: you would not see any more the
full URL for example if you are on ffm-nachhilfe.de/kontakt.html the
browser would just always tell you "ffm-nachhilfe.de")
URL-hiding. As I understand correctly you would see then the full
URL (like this!) but it could be a little bit lame sometimes.
If I understand correctly the third way is the only human way to keep (full) face. My questions now are:
Did I understand that correctly?
If I would choose URL-hiding would that hurt my SEO?
Should I just rather pay the 50 Euros per year and don't be so stingy?
I hope my questions weren't too silly and I appologize for my German accent (and by accent I mean style mistakes). Thank you very much in advance for your great help!

... my account at bplaced.net the following address: richard87.bplaced.net If I understand correctly I would now need to redirect my URL ffm-nachhilfe.de on the homepage of united-domains.de to this address.
On ffm-nachhilfe.de you need to redirect users to richard87.bplaced.net and header redirect is best.
If you use apache and have mod_rewrite installed, you can add these lines to .htaccess and save it to the document root folder at ffm-nachhilfe.de:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ffm-nachhilfe.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ richard87.bplaced.net/ [R=301,L]
Then visit redbot.org and test a page from ffm-nachhilfe.de and you should see at least the following headers:
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: richard87.bplaced.net/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
