Running an IIS7 server, I can't figure out how to set up a static subdomain url redirect.
I want this url:
subdomain.mysite.com
to forward to:
mysite.com/index.php?query=string
but the url still looks like
subdomain.mysite.com
in the browser.
The solution is to set up a wildcard domain in the DNS Manager on the windows server. Here is a decent workaround for this.

I have a DNS linked to Sites using CNAME from www in my DNS settings below. So when i type www.website.com it redirects me properly but when I type website.com nothing happens. I am thinking about editing # to add something to redirect to the www but I am not sure how to do that. Cold you please help me out?
Depends on the web server your utilizing, but what your looking for is url redirects. You can put in different urls and have the redirect to the primary. So you would place your domain.com in here to redirect to your binded url which is the www.domain.com. should also be able to use it to redirect http to https, though this is usually less of an issue with browsers and servers today.
We are currently looking at identifying the best approach to carry out a redirection of a url folder to another url folder o a separate domain. We have tried a few options but have been unable to make this work. Any other redirection options such as apache, html etc are not possible. This url is only accessed through the browser by an application to download some files. This application cannot be changed but needs to download these files from another location.
Hence, we need to redirect the following:
https://sub1.domain1.com/xyz
to
https://sub2.domain2.com/abc/xyz
Any ideas how we can achieve this?
Note: we have full control of DNS of the domain1 and there are no plans to use this domain.
You can't do that with DNS alone. The DNS never sees the "path" part of the URL. You need a webserver aware of the situation who can provide a 302 redirect.
I'm trying to achieve wildcard hostname mappings in IIS 8.5. As they don't exist, I'm trying to use URL Rewrite.
I have two formats of URL,
<anything>-foo.mydomain.com
<anything>-bar.mydomain.com
I want to map these to two different sites in IIS, for example
<anything>-foo.mydomain.com --> foo.mydomain.com/<anything>
<anything>-bar.mydomain.com --> bar.mydomain.com/<anything>
I'm trying to configure a URL Rewrite rule at the machine level, but I've got some problem.
If I set it to Redirect it works. If I set it to Rewrite I get an IIS 404.4.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Here are my settings:

You can only rewrite the URL to the same site and same application pool. For example:
http://foo.com/bar to http://foo.com/
You need to install Application Request Routing and enable Proxy. Then it will work with URL rewriting to remote servers (regardless where or what they are) since the routing will take care of that.

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.
I have a parked domain www.my-domain.com
I also have a hosted active domain sub.active-domain.com
I want to forward www.my-domain.com to sub.active-domain.com but keeps the url on
structure in the browser from sub.active-domain.com
example:
sub.active-domain.com/content/market.html
will shows on url become
www.my-domain.com/content/market.html
how to do it thru the htaccess file ? or should i do it thru the DNS or CNAME ?
The best way would be with .htaccess.
But you can not keep the url as long as you redirect it somewhere.
Or other wise use a iframe.
