I have a site that when i search in google (ifiwereyou.co.uk) it takes me to a 123reg holding page. (it works fine in most other search engines)
This is beacause google is showing the url as
http://ifiwereyou.co.uk
rather than
http://www.ifiwereyou.co.uk
Is this being caused by a missing dns entry or is there a way i can sort this ASAP?
Many Thanks

I think it's your domain hosting service serving Parking Page. In the DNS settings you need to add a CNAME www.ifiwereyou.co.uk for ifiwereyou.co.uk.

I used the site called http://get-site-ip.com/ to get the IP and both the results are showing me the same result.
This is the search result where my site is
This http://shoulderdoc.in is my original domain
My site shouldn't be at http://brainolam.com/
Bainolam result where my site shouldn't be.
This is happening because on your web server, you have not mentioned the hostname for which this site should work. You need to create a virtualhost entry with your hostname.
Currently anyone can point a domain with the ip address - 97.74.236.109, will show your website.
The question applies to only Google Sites New (version) as it currently doesn't support web URL mapping. More info here under section Web address mapping :
https://support.google.com/a/answer/7198710?hl=en&ref_topic=6399171
So I made my site publicly available and can access it via the sites URL. I then did a 302 URL forwarding in my domain DNS so if I type in the domain.com it gets redirected to sites URL -- All good so far.
My question is how come some users are managed to have their URL showing up in Google results. Example Query in Google :
https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#newwindow=1&q=Made+with+the+new+Google+Sites%2C+an+effortless+way+to+create+beautiful+sites.
you will see some sites for example
These sites - ArchSci2020 and Mr. Arnote's new google Site have their URL displayed and Title doesn't contain the word Google Sites. Example if you try the following query where I am looking for the footer phrase
https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#newwindow=1&q=%22Made+with+the+new+Google+Sites%2C+an+effortless+way+to+create+beautiful+sites%22
I am using Google Domains and it only allow URL forwarding -- what are they doing differently?
Thanks.
I think they are indexed by Google with their real domain name because they use iframes or invisibles redirects configured in their registrar panels like Namecheap (for mrarnote.com for example).
According to Namecheap support:
Recently, Google has released a NEW version of Google Sites (it can be accessed through https://sites.google.com/new), however, it has no option to use a custom domain with it. If you still would like to use this version of sites with your domain, you may set up the connection via URL forwarding (more detailed instruction on how to set up the URL forwarding can be found in this article)
I created a website with html, css, js, jquery and got a domain name at http://dot.tk.
The name of the website is http://onlinehtmleditor.tk.
But my browser is taking me to http://guide.domain-error.com/search9870798707.php?keyword=onlinehtmleditor.tk/&uri=&uid=57499c974fcbe...
I searched google but the results were solutions to remove domain-error not http://guide.domain-error.com/.
So how do I prevent this?
It means that the DNS records have not been updated yet.
The page you see is provider-specific, I see an other page when visiting your website.
DNS ("Domain Name System") is used to get an IP address from a domain.
When you register a domain, the DNS records have to be actualized, your domain and your server's IP have to be added.
I assume you have already set up a server and assigned it to your domain (otherwise you have to do this in the domain management panel first).
If so, you only have to wait a little.
If you haven't assigned a server yet, do that first and check again a little time after this.
I hope I could help.
I am completely confused the last few days with this and I still haven't found an outcome that's worked.
Basically I have a domain name without hosting at letshost.ie which is dublinplasterer.ie
I also Have one domain & hosting with godaddy for domain- shanafagan.com which is my own site for web/graphic design service.
I created a subdomain= dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com and uploaded the site files.
Basically I want for example when someone types in dublinplasterer.ie in the address bar if goes to dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com but doesn't show dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com url, stays as dublinplasterer.ie
Im not even sure if this can be done at this stage. head is melted
shanafagan.com and the subdomain dublinplasterer.shanafagan.com have the same ip so how will that work if changing dns?
Any help would be greatly appreciated , am so stuck at this stage.
If you wanted to do it this way you would need a web server for domain2.com
Search for ProxyPass.
The way you should do this is add a second domain on your web hosting (cpanel for example) and point the other domain to this web server.
If you are struggling I recommend using a solution like cPanel that is widely used and simplifies much of the process. It is common enough you can google most issues.
So normally you would have started by making an add-on domain (instead of a subdomain) which would also create it's own subdomain anyway. To do that, you go to your cPanel in GoDaddy and find add-on domain, then make it "dublinplasterer.ie" (Don't add www. to it. Even though this name is hosted elsewhere, we will later go to your DNS files at that hosting and point it to your GoDaddy's name servers and this add-on helps it direct to the right root folder) then choose your local root folder for that site (I think you can actually make this the same as your other subfolder already hosting your files and then it will just pull the same site) or you can pick a different subfolder and then make the add-on domain. This tells any request to this name server that if it is a request for "dublinplasterer.ie" it needs to send it to the subfolder you specified.
If you don't make the subfolder the same as the one you already made, you can either load the same content into your new subfolder or create a CNAME record telling this add-on to point to your subfolder instead but that is more complex so go with the other route.
Lastly, you need to go to your original hosting at letshost.ie and under your domain name find the DNS records tab. Change the name servers to match your GoDaddy ones and now (may take a day or two to show as DNS changes often take days and can't be seen immediately but you can try using a different device/computer/mobile that hasn't loaded it previously to see if it will refresh the correct dns) it should work. Even though it points to your main site name servers, the add-on domain you made receives it and directs it to the subfolder you specified on the add-on domain.
Hope that helps, let me know if it works for you.
There has been a question made towards me recently to do the following:
We have a website with Drupal running in IIS.
On that site is an URL Redirect to a website hosted externally, obviously with a name completely irrelevant to the name of our company.
The question now is the following;
They want to change to URL to a subdomain of our website. Example: from "www.external-site.com" to "www.sub.internal.com" (while still showing content of the external website)
They want the current page of that website to be reflected in the URL bar. So it wouldn't say "www.sub.internal.com", but it would say "www.sub.internal.com/solutions/page1.html" (instead of "www.external-site.com/solutions/page1.html")
It's possible that I forgot another 'condition' but have mentioned before this.
So, if someone visits through our URL Redirect to External-website, it needs to show our subdomain instead of their domain in the URL, AND it needs to show the current page when people start browsing while still using our subdomain in the URL.
Now, I checked the external-website, and it seems that most of the links available are relative links (if this would be any useful information).
Currently, the external website is hosted externally, and will remain to be so for next few years. (I believe we bought the company)
I have been asking around and looking up, and the best possible thing seems to use domain forwarding, but even then it still doesn't seem to comply with the entirety that they asked of me.
I am but a 'simple' .NET programmer, held responsible to do support for anything involving the websites, and I can't say I have extended knowledge about infrastructure. (But I can ask people to do this for me)
Is there anything that could solve this?
Thanks so much!
IIS's URL rewite and Application Request Routing (ARR) combo can help you what you want to achive. Here are few links which may guide you to configure ARR. Please note that these links dont exibit exact solution to your problem however you can take clue from it and fabricate your solution accordingly.

It sounds like you'll want to use a full-page iframe: do not redirect but show a page with an "inner page" instead: that inner page is the external web site. That way, users do not see the external site in their URL bar.

You need to configure the equivalent of Apache Virtual Host with Reverse Proxy on IIS.
