I have a domain registered externally and have configured the url fwd to site hosted on 42web.io. However getting the following error
It appears your browser is not accepting cookies, please enable cookies to continue to this page, or disable ‘private’ web browsing mode.

Sounds like this
If your new URL is not working, could you at the very least share the URL so we can check it for ourselves?
I’m not sure if the page you’re seeing is from our servers or from your domain forwarding service, or whether this page is because cookies are actually not enabled or because of a bug, potentially with your domain forwarding service.
That said, I would not recommend using URL forwarding if you want to put your website on your own domain. You can just host the domain name with us and setup your website directly on your domain name without any redirects, forwards, frames or masks.
The url forwarding is from (http://www.uberous.com/) to (http://uberous.42web.io/)
Yes, but did you read admin’s reply already? Forwarding is not what you want, because it won’t work.
You can just park the custom domain onto your free subdomain.
Frank, thats not what the admin response says, its says not recomended. I will let the admin reply.
Thanks Kang, however this is not applicable in this scenario as I am just doing the url fwd
What Frank said is exactly what I was trying to say. The thing you’re doing, with the URL frame, is what strongly recommend against doing.
Cookies are an important reason for that. Browsers nowadays tend to be quite cautious with iframes, because they are often used for tracking, so browsers, especially those that have been tuned for extra security, will have problems with cookies, which means many website functions will not work correctly.
And that’s not considering the fact that you can’t do direct links to pages, you will not be able to rank your custom domain in search engines, and all other issues associated with URL frames.
So that’s my verdict: the issues you’re having are caused by your URL frame. To fix this, either just do a regular web redirect without frames, or actually host the domain name with us so you can publish your website on your domain name:
it is URL Fwd and NOT URL Frame. So in that scenario (while may not be recomended) it should still work. Did you check on the URLs (which I have provided as per your request)
Yes, I have checked the URLs. On http://www.uberous.com/, I see something that I call a URL frame. Other hosting providers may call this setup something else, but it doesn’t change the nature of how your website works, and the problems it’s causing for you.
We can keep bickering about terminology, but we can also just move on towards a solution. And my recommended solution is to not do URL frames, forwards, redirects or anything like that.
Because if you want to host your website with us on your own domain, then this is the way to do it:
As for migrating the Site.pro website, I wrote some instructions in another topic for someone else yesterday, which should also work for you:
