Redirect Help

[sherlock]

hey

well i had a domain name and wanted another domain name so i bought it. Well the problem now is that the domain wont let me redirect it to another folder because i have to pay to do that. Now both of my domain names are directed to the same root.

So any tricks if u guys know of for redirection?

you can put this code into the index.html (no body-tags needed), it displays the site you want to redirect to in a fullscreen frame.

Code: Select all

<FRAMESET border=0 rows="100%,*" frameborder="no" marginleft=0 margintop=0 marginright=0 marginbottom=0>
<frame src="http://www.URL-to-redirect.to" scrolling=auto frameborder="no" border=0 noresize>
<frame  topmargin="0" marginwidth=0 scrolling=no marginheight=0 frameborder="no" border=0 noresize>
</FRAMESET>

Hey...but it will redirect whole 2 domain names....to that link

wont it?

i need some code if avaible that will only redirect my second domain to a specific folder.

[bad_brain]

you can redirect by using an .htaccess file too, the syntax is:

Code: Select all

Redirect http://oldsite.com/ http://yoursite.com/index.html

Use PHP or Java to grab the domain then send each domain to a different place?

Hey finnally i found something that worked

here is what i did

in the .htaccess file i added this code

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?site2\.com [NC]
RewriteRule !^jokes/.*$ /jokes%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

and now whenevr somebody enters my second sites...it takes them to the folder jokes and it works the same way as domain redirect provided by most of the host. My host sucks, Do you guys think if they find out about this they will suspend my account? because they charge 99$ for domain redirection

[bad_brain]

nope...htaccess files are not illegal, and actually your site is still hosted there (even if it's just a single htaccess file). if they would complain about it they would also have to ban the use of links to other sites (which is also a form of redirection)....

Yeah they never mentioned it in the rules lol .
