What is URL Masking ?

 
URL Masking means that the visitors to the domain name will be forwarded to your destination website, however the URL in their browser address bar will remain the same. Also known as Stealth Redirection or URL Hiding, this will ensure that your visitors see the orignal domain name and not the destination URL.
URL Masking or Domain Masking both are same
It is using the HTML frame to mask the destination URL and keep the originate URL in the browser.
You would create a site with a short URL and on that site you create an index.html that contains the HTML code as shown below.
Here is the HTML code that make the URL masking work!

<html>
<head>
<title>yourname</title>
<meta name="description" content="your description">
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,0" border="0">
<frame src="http://verylongURLTosite.com?task=more&param=parm1" frameborder="0">
<frame frameborder="0">
</frameset>
</html>
