using .net endings with smugmug

[RKeaton]

I've recommended SmugMug to my sister for her youth sports business.

She has a domain with a .net ending which she will be forwarding to her new SM site. Question: is it possible to have her website name stay in the address bar (with the .net ending) so that's what visitors see even after they get re-directed?

It is certainly possible to use .NET domains with smugmug, however, forwarding is not the way to do it. If you do domain forwarding, you will no longer see the custom domain in the address bar as it simply forwards the user to another address. In order to have a custom domain, she will need to have a smugmug pro account. If she wants to set one up, see this help page for great instructions:

EDIT - it appears RichW just beat me to the punch. ;)
