I am just wondering how can I do this with my domain.
I have a support page on my website and access it like:
www.mydomainname.com/support
but I want to do it like
support.mydomainname.com
It might be a simple question with a very simple answer but I am having trouble and confusion regarding this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
There are a myriad of ways to do this, the simplest being a simple 302 redirect on the page. Depending on your web server setup, you could also setup a .htaccess file to implement the redirect.

So I am upgrading an existing website(different CMS) to the Joomla 3.4.1 CMS, and I'm running into the following problem.
Because it's a replacement for an old website, I need to make 301 redirects to make sure no links appear broken.
The old website used url's like '/10/Terms_of_use.html', basically url's which start with numbers. This results in the situation where Joomla looks for an article with the corresponding article number instead of acting according to the redirect set in the redirect manager.
So how do I prioritize the redirects over the interpretation of the article id's? Thanks in advance.
Aha! I found a way to disable the article interpretation from the Joomla routing. It's described on http://developernote.com/2012/05/how-to-remove-id-from-url-in-joomla-2-5.
Now this solution is commonly described online on several websites, most of which leave out the last bit. This one offers the full solution though. Anyways, thanks internet.
Apologies if this has been beaten to death, but all I've been able to find are overly technical articles.
My question is simple:
A friend at the university wants to start a website. He wants to use a university domain name (http://university.com/my-awesome-website). The problem is that I want to build it with WordPress, but the university is still using PHP4, so WP isn't possible!!
Can I setup a .htaccess file or similar so that when someone goes to http://university.com/my-awesome-website, the urls look right, but the pages are actually coming from WordPress on a different server?
Is this what they call 'domain masking' or is it a '301' redirect?
Help appreciated!
You could use an IFrame to load the wordpress site in and make it look like it's being served up on the same site.
I am working on a social networking site and we are using CodeIgniter for it, can someone please guide me how I can actually implement the Facebook like multilingual sub-domain structure, that what will be the best approach to implement it, like how the .htaccess should be managed and how the code should be managed, if any of you have suggestions please share with me.
You should try http://codeigniter.com/wiki/I18N_Library/
this is a handy tool
hi i have a website. in this i want to redirect on specific pages.if sobebody type http://xyz.com?a=4&b=5 in the url it should be redirect on http://xyz.com?a=10&b=22.
how can i do this.
I would use your backend script (php, ruby, asp.net) to perform the redirect. However possible in htaccess, you will be writing too many rules for the redirect cases.
It's possible to use the RewriteMap directive to do what you want: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
However, I have to admit that I found it quite complicated when I tried and ended up giving in and going for a PHP based solution as suggested by #Jared. I found it more flexible and suitable to the use-case I was implementing.
I know how to create/implement friendly url in asp.net, but is it possible (and if so - how) to do it in classic asp?
if its impossible, how would google respond (SEO) to creating pages whos sole purpose is to redirect (on load) to a different page?
thanks!
Use a URL rewriter like IIRF or IsapiRewrite that ties into IIS and is processed before ASP/ASP.NET/PHP get the request.
If your classic ASP application runs on a IIS7 then I would totally suggest creating a web.config and using ASP.NET url rewriting feature. I use that for my projects and it works perfectly!
If it runs on an older IIS then ISAPIRewrite or IIRF. Nevertheless I would try as hard as possible to upgrade to IIS7 as it will make things so much easier.
You can also do it without a Rewrite Filter using a custom 404 page. In that you can use Server.Transfer or Server.Execute to redirect off to the correct page. Trouble is you loose your QueryString object doing it that way but it sort of works with a little love and cuddling.
If you want to avoid Server.Transfer et al you can also wrap all your templates in objects and included them all and just call a render function on the template you want to render, leads to big code over-head but its easily overcome by modern server brute force power!
In IIS 7 use Microsoft's own free URL Rewrite!
You need an ISAPI module. It's quite a bit more complex than URL rewriting in ASP.NET, so you can try a commercial rewriter like this one.
Or you can try the Ionic's Isapi Rewrite Filter, which is free, at http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF
IsapiRewrite, yes, I agree with that recommendation.
To answer your other question, Google won't care, just 301 redirect them. Make sure you don't have duplicate content, and don't even 302 redirect. If you 301 redirect, the Google should keep your PageRank concentrated on a single page. (This is what the SEO gurus at work tell me.)
ISAPI_Rewrite v3 will satisfy your needs. There a friendly manager and quite an easy syntax (well anyway if you encounter problems, you may address their support forum).
