forwarding with masking on mobile issue

[behzad]

So when I forward mask my domain to xara hosting from godaddy, the mobile version does not work.
When I forward without masking the mobile version works.

What gives?

I guess no one, hmmmm.

You are not of a patient nature then; only 10 hours waiting.

Few, including me, probably do not understand what you mean by "masking". What does the successful "forwarding without masking" miss out for you as without any background that would be my answer.
What research into GoDaddy's set-up have you done?
https://www.easyredir.com/blog/why-y...ding-cloaking:

Cloaked URLs [a.k.a. URL masking] also have negative effects on a website’s search engine rankings. Because websites with masked URLs are hosted on servers with entirely different addresses, search engines will crawl them on those servers, rather than the domain that website owners or managers want them to be crawled on.

You need to tell us a story.

presumably you mean this:

I have no idea why your set up does not work on [your] mobile - have you checked with another, may just be settings

otherwise it's a question for godaddy maybe

if it's xara web issue then acorn-the-helpful may be able to help you with your story....

edit - ie simply 'does not work' does not help much

Dear Acorn, the reason why I posted the screen shot was to show godaddys setup for forwarding a domain to xara hosting.
Like I said the mobile version of my site does not work when I forward with masking, otherwise it does work.
Has nothing to do with godaddy because they are just forwarding the domain to Xara. It has to be Xara hosting. Anyways I do not care, it is another hiccup that I have come across and in all honesty I am used to having things not work for me.

And I was simply asking for the why.

As the variant is embedded into the HTM file that has the Main, I doubt that the Xara export is responsible. Have you considered that your browser might be blocking it as URL masking is where the domain points to a browser with a frame which shows your website within it?
Do note that the Xara hosting environment is actually run by Magix.
Do you have another domain you could try with?
If you publish directly into http://designfacet.xara.hosting/???/, does that work?
Does the updating of Name servers by GoDaddy take a finite time?

Again, a narrative is important.

Thanks Acorn will try experimenting.
