Domain Name Help

Recommended Posts

Today I registered my doamin name, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. I got it through Yahoo, and its working great so far. I have it set on "masked redirect", which means that when you type in http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, it goes to ghostrider.trap17.com, but keeps http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ in the address bar.

 

However:

 

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

return the exact same result when they are typed into the address bar. When I click a link on the site it works just fine. My question is, how do I fix this? I know I can do domain redirects using A and CNAME records, but have no experience with this at all. Also, what is a parked domain? Thanks.

Well from my understanding of redirects is that if you do a full domain redirect anything you add on to the domain is going to do the same thing. So what I suggest and I do this works as well is set up the redirects through a htaccess file using the following line of code in the htaccess file.

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

So with that you would have to set up a htaccess file in each folder in order to do this.

Also you can do it hte old fashion way and set up redirects through yahoo for those links for a quicker process.
