Path Forwarding It is good to use or not????????

[solankyno1 0]

I am using .co.nr free domain for my website. And I have choosen path forwarding. (For example if someone types http://www.mywebsite.co.nr/contact.html he will be directed to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ) . For this i have to change my all internal links to mywebsite.co.nr/filename.html . Now i am feeliing that search engines are not indexing my all pages. Is there any solution for that or I have to disable path forwarding and using internal links in my source code???????????

YEs. Do not use Absolute links

Suppose you link a page in your site from page A to page B.
Instead of using the following tag,

<a href="http://yoursite.com/pageB.htm">Link</a>

Use:

<a href="pageB.htm">Link</a>

This will work. These are called RELATIVE PATH links and they are not dependent upon the complete web address.

thanks! But I think than path forwarding will not work. I mean if i want to show http://www.mysite.co.nr/file.html'>http://www.mysite.co.nr/file.html instead of http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ in the address bar. Only http://www.mysite.co.nr/ will be shown. Am I right???

you are right, only if the file is in the same folder as the file you are linking from<a href="file1.html">link</a>file1.html MUST be in the same directory, else I (personally) always use the full path <a href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; because it always works

when you register a domain, it is yourdomain.co

 

in http://www.mydomain.com/, they provide a service.

 

You can map subdomain, such as http://www.yourdomain.co/ to be analysized by another DNS. I think Xisto.com can host your subdomain DNS.

 

Then your website host at Xisto.com is really http://www.yourdomain.co/, redirect is not required at the http level, since DNS has resolved it. You don't need change your code anytime.

 

I think other registrar may also provide this service.

I have checked there but they are providing just only url forwarding. I have not found there about DNS. Can you give the specific page address.

Strangely enough. This feature is not described in any direct link, which I think is the most powerful.

 

After you purchase their domain

 

In their tools, there are one called "Update Domain Contacts"

 

In it, you can do "DNS management". In it, you can define a NS for a subdomain.

 

"An 'NS' or 'Name Server' record allows you to delegate one of your subdomains to other name servers. These other name servers are responsible for providing A, MX, etc. records for the delegated subdomain. Note that to change the NS records for your base domain name (yourdomain.com), you must do it through the domain's registrar. To change the name servers of domains of which we are the registrar, use the "update name servers" link on our main account management page.

 

Examples:

subdomain.yourdomain.com NS ns1.any.com

subdomain.yourdomain.com NS ns2.any.com

"

 

But I have not tried this yet. That's what I want to try on Xisto.com. You can wait until I got 25 posts. I will tell you the result after I got my free hosting. :-)

Thanks jordanliahuo. As you have written I will wait until your site is hosted here. I hope it will work. Best of luck.

I have found more reasonable way to this, which I think is provided by any domain registrar.

 

I describe the process in the mydomain.com.

 

After a new domain registered, the domain is configured to host on their 4 domain servers by default, which are ns1~ns4.mydomain.com. But you can configure the domain servers to ns1.trap17.com & ns2.trap17.com. (You should apply for package 2 in Xisto with the domain name first)

 

These configuration are submitted to the internet core network by mydomain.com. It may take 2 days to reflect the change to all of the domain servers running in the internet. After that, you can surf your Xisto hosting with the domain name.

 

Of course, before that, you can configure your pc to use domain server ns1.trap17.com, ns2.trap17.com directly.

 

There is some problem for my JSP host. But I have tried, these really works. After hosting problem being resolved, I can show you my web site.

I would avoid forwarding if i could. I've used them before and when i track the pages they really don't do so badly. Just keep the page that's going to forward people to another site or page really really light, so it'll take like seconds to load and forward. Also do as others do, put a link to the page your redirecting people to, just in case.round
