Frame Redirect:
Frame redirect allows you to mask the domain you are forwarding to and allows you to enter a title and meta keywords and descriptions.
HTTP Redirect:
HTTP redirect will allow you to forward the domain to another domain, directory or file on another web server , however, the URL will not be masked. You cannot enter meta details using HTTP redirect.


Please Note:

Frame redirect uses a frame that displays the page in full size onto the screen into which the domain is forwarded. This is the preferred method of forwarding. HTTP redirect is triggered directly by 1&1 web servers. This is required for the use of .mobi domains.
