Why create a host record, instead of using URL (masked) forwarding?

A host record generated creates a direct channel from the domain name to its intended IP address, without the mediation of our forwarding server. Thus, a host record that is not incorporated into our URL forwarding service will not mask the pointing of the domain. Customers may find this useful if the location of their domain is directly related to their domain name.
