I'm building a website for public use.

It's a sharing website - everyone is allowed to download specific content, but I want to make sure nobody knows where all the files are kept, so I've decided to use URL Forwarding, e.g. when someone visits fakesite.com, it returns realsite.com without revealing/redirecting to realsite.com.

Question: I don't know how to make this work. Please help me by explaining how to use URL Forwarding!

Thanks!
