Another post from Sialoop and badc0ff33, this time about using Skynet and custom domain names. Thanks for the continued, excellent posts.

Types of redirecting

There are different options on how you can redirect your new domain yourdomain.xyz to your Skynet website. The most simple solution is to use a redirect service. This service redirects visiters to your Skynet website if they visit your domain with their browser. Another solution could be that you visit yourdomain.xyz and that the Skynet website is loaded in a frame. The visiter now does not see the Skylink in the address bar of the web browers. A final solution would be to redirect the domain yourself with the use of your own web server. Altough the latter option does give you more flexibility and power over how you handle web requests, this method is not covered in this guide.

Catch the full post over on SiaLoop and get your custom domain working with Skynet.
