Domain Masking
May 10, 2009How can I domain mask a long url so it shows only the domain name. Do I modify the .htaccess? My registrar (omnis) does not provide masking.

View 8 RepliesI'v been searching the internet for ways to redirect/mask a domain in Linux (Ubuntu) and everything points me to godaddy. The server is ssh there is no control panel on it. So if anyone knows a way I can redirect my domain name and mask it that would be great. For example domain1 points to domain2, but in the address bar it shows domain1.
View 4 Replies View Relatedjust a quick question, i have two domains www.abc.com and www.abc.co.uk.
With web forwarding typinng www.abc.co.uk will get me to
www.abc.com and from there i have browse the www.abc.com site.
However I want www.abc.co.uk to be the duplicate of www.abc.com. So i can browse a www.abc.co.uk.
Therefore typing www.abc.co.uk will stay on there and i can browse (www.abc.co.uk/aboutus.htm, www.abc.co.uk/contact.htm....etc).
Do i just need to change the namserver tags or do i change the DNS.
how do i setup a url cloaking on my own server?
can i use mod_rewrite or mod_proxy?
I have web hosting and domain, lets call it www.example.co.uk, but the main body of the site is on another hosting server (no domain, just set as a dedicated IP address). I'm just wondering if it is possible using .htaccess (or otherwise) to mask the website so the address bar shows www.example.co.uk - But also shows the current directory/file on the dedicated IP server?
So for example, being able to goto http://www.example.co.uk/shop and it show the page 111.222.333.444/shop?
I know the most logical option would be to move over the domain to the new server, but at this current time that is not an option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not so great when it comes to .htaccess.
I've been trying to get 301 redirect's WITH masking to work within my htaccess file all day now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am not a web host. I do have my own server that I host my company sites on and some of my friends use it as well.
I had someone ask me if I could host about ten pages on my server for him. He said the following," Hello. What is your base hosting price... say for a dozen page static site? (making some Page Rank sites on different hosts to mask the connections to my main website)"
This question gave me an uneasy feeling, but then again I am not familiar with this tactic. I have two questions since the above was asked.
1. Is this illegal by search engine rules.
2. Can my websites be affected if it is.
So we've got a client setup with 2 domains; 1 main and 1 secondary.
The secondary domain is a 301 redirect with masking through GoDaddy. The reason for the masking is because we need the domain name to stay the same after the redirect. (So people who come in on DomainB will only see DomainB in the url bar.)
The problem: GoDaddy has uses a "zero frame" element to implement the masking and it's messing up the display of our site.
Note: The display only screws up in IE.
Primary domain: www.BristolCountyWomensJournal.com --> (This works fine.)
301 domain: www.WomensJournals.com --> (Check out the messy background!)
Anyone know of alternatives to Domain Masking?
When I hit my server's domain it redirects me to one of the hosted sites' domain with a 302 redirect. It used to return the default plesk server page. How can I cancel the redirect?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOK, I am confused. I have one domain that is parked on top of another domain. I would like Mail that comes to the parked domain to be automatically forwarded to the same user name at the primary domain.
Can I change a DNS or MX record to facilitate this?
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.
To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.
We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
anyone?
I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names.
I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries.
Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel,
ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40
ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41
But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?
Is it really required?
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".
# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.
How do I change park domain to the main domain and vice versa for the main domain?
I have cpanel, centos, whm. Wondering if this will effect down time and such?
I have domain1.com as the main domain that I am using with cpanel and domain2.com as an addon domain that points to a different directory.
I want to move domain1.com to another server and I would like to know if I can make domain2.com the main one
what are the differences?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOkay guys, a quick question for all the gurus out there. I'll admit I'm a bit embarassed posting such an easy question, but give a guy a break, I've been using managed servers for god knows how long and I've finally decided to take a dive into administration. Everything is firewalled and secured properly, I'm just having trouble getting the ServerAlias to work right.
What happens is I go into my browser and enter in [url]walaa! It works.
Now, when I enter in [url], it does not resolve.
I have checked with "dig" the domain settings and it looks as though all of the nameservers are set up fine, this is an apache problem. I'm running apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 for all those who are interested.
Here is my etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/public
# Custom log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I've been messing with it for about 45 minutes and I'm worn out at ~4:30am and could use a helping hand from the pros.
I just when found this domain on google when I was make some search of content of my site
I found domain as a parked domain and work for my site!
so I go to cpanel and parked domain but not found any thing
so what this mean how someone have parked domain for my site and when i go to cpanel noting foudn also when I go to whm and accoubt listed I don’t find that domain?
I´ve a domain but haven´t set the DNS servers yet....now I get a free hosting and I wanted to associate the DNS servers to my domain but I don´t know how!!!
It would be great If you could help me...and let me know if you need more info..
I am moving content from old.domain to new.domain
However I am at the same time retaining the old.domain to keep the older links working
I want that the old.domain/link redirect to new.domain/link
Please advice what would be best to do for the old.domain -
1) Domain forwarding
2) Domain parking
or Both the above
(The other thing is that I would like to do 301 redirect - would this happen automatically by activating the above options - or something else has to be done)
i have a website and for some strange reason www.domain.com does not work, the browser tims out. but domain.com [no httpd or www] works fine.

1) 32 bit or 64bit?
2) Regarding host names and server assignemt...I can either assign it as a node to a domain hosted elsewhere in a reseller account, or I can start with a completely unused domain which is currently parked.
Any preference, in an ideal world?
(I have absolutely no preference, but it occurrred to me it may or may not be of consequence, perfomance & IT-wise and generally speaking .. all things being equal, of course.)
Like I said, a newbie. So I'm braced for the if-you-have-to-ask, you-shouldn't-be-in-one" musings for these rather basic boneheaders.
For some reason, for one of my sites, www.domain.com resolves correctly -- however, domain.com resolves to the Cpanel default page.
I've set up this domain the same way I set up my others. Also, I checked the DNS entry and see nothing wrong w/ it. Here's a screenshot of my DNS domain zone file:
[url]
One of my websites, romeo-help4u.com has this problem. When i type and the address goes to [url]it works fine. But when I go to [url]it doesn't work.

Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server
If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully.

works ok
But

I own a website, domain.com.
When people go to [url] or [url] I would like them to be redirected to [url]
I currently have a few websites hosted. One of them is a .NET.
I want to purchase the same domain again, but as a .COM.
How do I link the new .com to the older .net domain?
I use cPanel.
I'm setting my first eCommerce site and right now I need to resolve the following issue.
I need to install (well, the hosting company will do it for me) a SSL certificate and I need to know what is best or common practice, to use domainname.com or www.domainname.com
I don't know what difference it would make but it seems to do so because the hosting company is asking me to choose. Being that I'm clueless about this, I would also appreciate a quick explanation on the benefits or downfalls of using either one.
