I am trying to set up a wedding website on a website called ewedding. I can design it using the templates I'm given there. If someone wants to visit the website, they have to visit app.ewedding.com/example.com.

Is there any way I can purchase a domain example.com, such that it redirects to app.ewedding.com/example.com. If so, how? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Any good domain reseller should allow you to purchase a domain name and set up a redirect right there in your control panel.

For example, you are given this option at hover.com.

Your service provider suggests the following:


Free accounts use the eWedding URL you chose at signup while upgraded
Premium accounts may have chosen a custom .com. Even if you are using
a custom domain name, your original eWedding URL will still work.

However there is a way as you have described to purchase a domain name example.com and set up a webpage containing a frame redirect to app.ewedding.com/example.com. In order to do that you 'll need to create a webpage at example.com/index.html with this code here:

<html><head><title>Title of your webpage</title></head>
<frameset cols="*">
<frame name="main" src="https://app.ewedding.com/example.com " scrolling="auto" noresize>
<noframes>
<body>

Your browser does not support frames

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>


This method is called Frame Forwarding or Cloaked / Masked / Stealth Web Redirection. Many domain name registrars provide this option without necessity of obtaining an actual hosting and having the above coding done.
You should also carefully read terms and conditions of this ewedding app service in case such a way of using it is not legally allowed.
