I am using Squarespace to host a portfolio site at http://chasem.co. I am also building a personal landing using Jekyll and Github Pages. I want to set this up in a kind of weird way. Here's what I want:
The domain (chasem.co) should point to the landing page hosted on Github using Jekyll. However, I still want to use the the portfolio pages at Squarespace, which are at chasem.co/photos and chasem.co/design. The page at chasem.co will have links to these pages.
Is this possible? Basically I want to use the root of the domain for a page hosted at one place, and then directories of that URL for pages hosted elsewhere.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
I'm not a network genius but I think that your setup will be hard to get working.
The alternative idea is to use a subdomain for your photos and design sections.
pointing DNS to chasem.co at github + CNAME file in your user repository github.com/userName/userName.github.io
pointing DNS to photos.chasem.co and design.chasem.co at Squarespace

I think my website has been hacked.
Some users reported redirects from my home page to another website.
The problem only concerns the home page and not the other pages.
Also, when I type www.domain.com/index.php there is no problem. But when I type "www.domain.com" I find myself on another website.
My site has been hard-coded with an obsolete PHP version (5.3) and hosted by OVH on a shared server.
Can anyone help me identify the problem?
We are facing a weird issue specific only on one website even though we are hosting more than 150 websites on same server using Kentico CMS 11.
We have turned on "www" prefix settings from Kentico -> Urls & SEO for all the websites and all these sites are working without any issue.
But there is a specific website on which all the requests are getting redirected to home page if try to access with "www" prefix.
I have tried checking at code level and could not find any issue. If it would be code issue then it should appear for other websites as well.
We are using Azure app service for hosting our application so I have checked in application insight as well and could not get any lead as all the request which are logged for this specific websites are of home page.
Please help me in understanding if I need to see through this issue at some other place. I have checked with Client's IS team and they could not find any DNS settings difference when compared to other websites which are working fine.
Please check the web.config file of this site. It may contain a wrong URL redirect associated with "www" so that probably this redirect just cuts all the path from URL.
So I'm a web designer with experience in HTML, CSS and Java. I've used FTP to manage my site a couple of times for my company.
Overall I have experience in using Joomla and WordPress CMSs, but that's just the problem: I have barely any experience in even understanding DNSs, server stuff, domain management. I could really use some help on this.
Firstly, our IT Manager left so now I'm in charge as the sole web designer of the company. The website URL is www.????.org.uk and that's where the live website is.
Issue here is that sometimes I type in the same URL WITHOUT the www, which results in ANOTHER website (actually a beta I worked on a while ago that I'm sure the IT Manager set up for me).
We have a 123reg account and a HeartInternet Reseller hosting account. I understand that you buy domains, and you can forward them to a hosting platform to manage them and 'serve' them on servers to make them live. So in this case I'm betting it's owned and bought using 123Reg, and hosted on HeartInternet.
Here's the second issue I don't understand. We have a bunch of domains bought, most redirecting to www.????.org.uk, but we ALSO have the URL WITHOUT the www.
Remember what I said earlier? All things point to www version, but we own a domain WITHOUT the www and I can't find the domain listed anywhere with the www, so how in the world can I manage the www site (which is the live site)?
Please do teach me a little if you can about this and point me to the right direction. Thank you!
From what I saw several times before:
By default the www is use-less and points to the default ip:port registered at ????.org.uk. For a reason (that I don't understand) some people create a new DNS entry with a sub-domain called "www" pinging to a different ip and/or port. This results in www.????.org.uk acting like someSubDomain.????.org.uk.
Have you checked if this could be your case?
If it is, I suggest you change the "www" subdomain to "dev" or "beta". This will make www.????.org.uk and ????.org.uk redirect to the same "website" and beta.????.org.uk to the beta version of your company's site.
Be aware that a DNS change could require up to 24h to be spread and updated on the ISP's servers.
I installed concrete5 CMS in main domain folder and created an addon domain pointing to the main domain, but after creating the full website, when I redirect it from cpanel, the navigation is not working at all. You can see it by clicking following link:
the link where I build the site: http://www.venturescontracting.com/venturestowing
after redirect the addon domain http://www.venturestowing.com/
Please help me. How can I permanently redirect to the addon domain correctly?
Edit update: Oops. Looks like this is all fixed now. All okay? Original note follows, as the concept of "subdomains all" makes some sense...
Have you seen this link on best practices for hosting multiple concrete5 domains? Basically you place each 'site' in a separate directory, such that no one site his hosted at the root (public_html)... Everything is in subfolders from the root directory, and registered as a subdomain. Then you point the domain A-record to the IP address of your hosting site. Your hosting site (which appears to be Godaddy) can help you do this. They have pretty good tech support via phone 24x7
If I buy a hosting (+ domain) service for the website of a friend of mine, and then I decide to use the remaining web space and mysql databases for my development and test...
is google caching my development websites (in other folders and sub-urls) under his website ?
What's the downside to develop on a server with already a production website.. ? I was thinking to create a tiny url linking to a www.myfriendwebsite.com/mydevelopmentSite.. in order to hide the real url.
Thanks
If you don't link to it or don't submit to google or list in a sitemap -- google won't find it.
But, you could also just use a robots.txt to tell google not to index it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard
Update: to stop google and malicious bots:
Put a directory in robots.txt using *, and then put your site in a hard to guess subdirectory of that directory -- also, don't keep directory browsing on.
Also -- don't link to it anywhere, but perhaps you can't stop others from linking -- in that case, only robots.txt will keep you out of google. Malicious bots can get the site from the link.
Your hosting provider may have forbidden that in his Terms of Service (mine has). Other than that, I'd go for a subdomain instead of a subdirectory (like mydevelopmentsite.myfriendswebsite.com).
