I have a domain on which I host a website at http://design.maindomain.com/MDD/ and I also have an addon domain addondomain.com.
Can I make it so that when someone visits addondomain.com/index.html he will see http://design.maindomain.com/MDD/index.html but the URL in the address bar would still remain addondomain.com/index.html?
Thank is configurable in most Cpanels if not you should ask your host.

I have a website running on openshift (xx.rhcloud.com) and I bought a domain name from one of the BIG providers (mydomain.com).
When somebody goes to www.mydomain.com/page1.php I would like the url in the browser to stay as is and the correct page to be loaded.
Here is what happens:
If I setup the domain name host with a 301 redirect
www.mydomain.com/page1.php show as xx.rhcloud.com/page1.php.
If I ask for masking (iframe) www.mydomain.com/page1.php becomes www.mydomain.com (the reset of the url never shows)
If I setup .htaccess file on the openshift side I'm stuck with "too many redirects" error.
I cannot use Cpannel because the server is not hosted by the BIG provided I bought the domain name from.
Please help me figure out what I'm missing and how to fix the problem.
Thanks,
Joanna
Hi is it possible to stealth redirect a domain to another domain and in the meanwhile keeping the url of the first domain visible in the address bar?
Using cPanel and able to edit htaccess
I am not sure that this is possible, but you can instead do the following:
Use iframe in order to display the destination website inside your current website in "full screen". Read this for more information.
Point your domain name to the ip of the destination. This might not work if the destination uses virtual host, but you can try. Try using the same the sub-domain if this doesn't work.
This seems like a really stupid question, but I can't tell if my website uses the www subdomain or without.
I purchased an expired domain a month ago and set up Google Webmastertools with a sitemap and all. It's indexed, but when searching for the website name, it's no where to be found. Webmastertools says that 'no data is available.' The support states that the www subdomain may be a factor.
How can I verify this? I've used info: domain.com, site: domain.com, info: www.domain.com and site: www.domain.com It pulls up domain.com
Thanks in advance!
Need to find whether the both www and non-www are pointing to same IP address. For this, Open command prompt (click start button >> run >> provide code "cmd"). Once command prompt is launched, then run the code "Ping domain.com" you can find a IP address and then run "ping www.domain.com" and you get another IP address. If both IPs are different then you have setup A record in DNS.
If they are same IP address, non-www need to redirect www or www redirect to non-www. To find this, provide both URLS on http://www.redirect-checker.org/ find out which are getting 200 status. The 200 status URL are need to be added on webmastertool.
Let me know if you need further help.
Who is handling the DNS? If you own domain.com, the www. is (as you said) a subdomain.
You can register any subdomain you want as long as you are pointing it to somewhere. For example if I set up domain.com with DNS pointing to the hosting I would create an A record for the subdomain www that points to the same IP address.
From there I would check the Host server and (I use IIS) make sure that the bindings for the domain are set up, usually I bind it to www.domain.com as default and then just send domain.com there.
I hope this helps answer your question
I have a small issue. I have tried for the last hour to find a solution for this on this and many other websites. I have found similar but none have provided an answer that works. Heres that problem:
I have a badge on my website that was given to me by Norton online protection. they provided me with a script file and I placed it where it should go. NOW, this script is registered to "www.example.com" but if someone goes to their browsertypes in just "example.com" without the WWW. the Norton badge never shows.
I spoke with Godaddy this morning and they have no solution so that's why I'm asking on here.
Is there a to send a domiain name to the same domain name? so that it always shows the WWW?
Configure your webserver such that www.example.com is one site (your actual site with your content), and you have another site that is example.com (no www subdomain) as a site that you can now configure to redirect to your actual site. How that step is done depends on which webserver you are using, but basically these is a way to do that on any webserver (Apache, IIS, etc).
You could try to read the URL and check if 'www' is present in the URL. If it is not present redirect the visitors to www.example.com
In php you could use the below for redirection
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
I currently have a WordPress Multi-Site Network set up. The main website is located at "http://safesideinc.com." Then, there is another sub-domain "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com."
I want the URL "http://safesideinc.com" to lead to "http://safesideinc.com," and the URL "http://danielgosek.com" to lead to "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com."
Using a 301 Redirect in .htaccess, I can achieve this. However, I would like it so that entering "http://danielgosek.com" in the URL bar leads to "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com." WITHOUT CHANGING the URL displayed--in this case, the displayed URL should remain "http://danielgosek.com."
Are there any rules that could help me achieve this?
Not possible, a 301 - Permanent Redirect, is an instruction to the BROWSER that the resource has moved permanently and the BROWSER should re-direct to the provided new URL.
If you don't want the URL to change you either need a Reverse proxy set-up between the two virtual hosts / domains, or if danielgosek.com is just an alias, same IP and served from the same Apache virtual host, you could use an internal rewrite.
