About My Domain Redirects
Why my art website pulls up with different domain names.
When I first launched my online presence, my website began under a temporary web address. As my work expanded, I secured multiple domain names connected to my name to protect my identity, strengthen my visibility, and prevent confusion about ownership of my art and the contents within.
Securing multiple domain names connected to my name and artwork is an intentional part of my marketing strategy. It ensures that anyone searching for my work can find me easily, no matter which web address they enter. By owning these domains and directing them to one central website, I protect my identity, prevent confusion, and maintain a clear, consistent online presence.
This approach strengthens my visibility, supports my branding, and helps safeguard my artwork from misuse or misrepresentation — all while giving visitors a seamless path to my authentic site.
I legally own the rights to all of the following domains:
***(Redirect in progress - and currently propagating- can take 24-48 hours to complete - until fully propagated, may show as a broken link or (false) malicious site)
These domains are intentionally set to redirect to my primary website, which I legally own, as follows:
www.BarbaraBowlingArt.com
This ensures consistency across platforms, keeps everything organized in one place, and makes it easy for visitors to find my intuitive artwork, no matter which web address they enter.
Thank you for visiting, and Happy Shopping!

What is a domain name?
A domain name is the human‑readable address you type into a browser to visit a website — for example, google.com or wikipedia.org. It replaces the long numerical IP address that computers actually use, making the internet easier to navigate. My domain names, contain my actual name. and the ones listed above, I legally own. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/glossary/what-is-a-domain-name/, https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/what-is-a-domain-name
What is a domain redirect?
A redirect is a way to automatically send someone from one URL to another — like forwarding mail, but for websites. The browser tries to visit one web address, and the server says, “Actually, go over here instead.” There are several different types of redirects.
What is a URL?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the full web address that tells your browser exactly where to go on the internet and how to get there. It’s the precise location of a webpage, image, file, or any online resource.
What does a URL do?
A URL acts like a digital street address: it tells your browser which server to contact and which specific resource to request. Without URLs, you couldn’t load websites, images, videos, or downloads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL
Is there a limit to the number of domain names, someone can own?
No — there is no official limit to how many domain names a person or business can own. You can register as many as you want, as long as you keep paying for them each year.
Is there a limit to the number of domain names, someone can use?
No — You can register one, ten, or ten thousand domain names if you want. Many companies, investors, and large brands own hundreds or thousands.
How can you validate, who owns a domain name?
You can validate who owns a domain name by checking its WHOIS record, which is the public registration information for that domain. Think of WHOIS as the phonebook of the internet — it stores ownership, contact, and technical details for most domains.
Who manages domain names?
Domain names are managed by registrars (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains). Each registration is treated as a separate purchase.
Why ownership is sometimes hidden.
Many domain owners use privacy protection (also called WHOIS privacy or redaction). This replaces personal details with the registrar’s proxy information.
