A perfect example of domain masking would be this: you have a blog at www.yourblog.blogplace.com. You want your viewers to be able to find you at www.blog.blogplace.com. You would then use www.blog.blogplace.com to be redirected to your masked domain name www.yourblog.blogplace.com. Your viewer is still seeing www.blog.blogplace.com as the URL, but is sent to www.yourblog.blogplace.com. The content is the same, the pages viewed is the same, the only difference is the ending URL.
Why would any one use domain masking? Usually it's to help the viewers remember the URL by giving them a shorter version or if you are using a free hosting service that has more than your domain name listed in the URL.
Domain name masking has some minor drawbacks if you don't understand what you are doing.
