Post subject: Pointing To My Domain Name From Another Server
|
 |
|
I have a website with a hosting company which is a condition to a private paid program.
The allocated "Disk Space" is almost exhausted and I want to host my article directory and blog which are the main updating directories on my server at present with another hosting company and then point them as part of the directories on my web site to my domain name on my existing server.
How do I go about it?.
Is it compulsory that I must use them as sub-domains? If yes, how?
Sammy

Sammy,
I assume you mean you want a section of your site such as "YourSite.com/blog" to "point" to another domain, such as YourRealBlogLocation.com.
If so, I'd use a 301 redirect, assuming you have access to .htaccess with your original host. This is a much the best way of doing it, I think.
Here's the best way of searching this forum...

No.
You can use subdirectories as well. Either of these forms would make sense for redirecting a section of a site.
Either...
blog.yourdomain.com
(a subdomain)
or...
yourdomain.com/blog
(a subdirectory)
...could easily be made to redirect to a new domain (or even a section of it) using a 301 in .htaccess.
Hope this helps,
Charlie.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the solution.
Your reply in your thread should solve the problem I suppose. I've contacted my hosting company.
Secondly, to the best of my knowledge, there was no previous thread that addressed this issue in any way as you did. Not even your reference link in your thread since I searched before and after your response unless I am not using the right keyword.
All the same thanks for helping me out.
Sammy

Paste the following into Google...

I knew there was plenty here, because I wrote quite a bit of it. 
I just tried Google and when I clicked "repeat the search with the omitted results included" it came up with 41 results.
Hope this helps,
Charlie.
