Web Linking - Can anyone tell me...

Hi People

I've recently acquired a domain name, without hosting, which is Web Linked to my main domain/web site. The web link only directs folk to the domains root so, is there a way that I can send visitors, who arrive via the new linked domain, to a specific page on my main site (i.e. the home page of a sub-web)?

Or should I just cough up the moolah for a cloaked redirect?

Thanks in advance,

TFC

Why not make your index.html a site map? That way it's just one click away to the page in question. Or make any links using the new domain, www.newdomain/pageinquestion.html. Those are the two easiest ways.

Or you could point the new domain to a sub directory that contains the page in question. There doesn't seem any point in spending more money.

Many thanks for the suggestions John.

I had considered the index/site map route but was hoping to avoid even that one click distance from the home page of the sub-web, although it does seem to be the most sensible free option

Unfortunately, the web linking only sends visitors to the top level of the designated domain. It's the next level of service from my hosting provider that allows redirection to a specific page/directory on my main domain.

Decisions, decisions


Thanks for your input,

Hi.

I have 2 solutions for you, one with HTML, and the other with PHP!

HTML
- In between the <head></head> tags on the new domain page, put:

In reply to:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://yourwebsite.com">

Just change the 'content' to the number of seconds you want for them to wait, and the 'URL' to the website addy you want to send them to!

PHP
- Unlike before, this must go at the very top of your document!

In reply to:

<?php header('Location:http://www.yoursite.com'); ?>

Remember that your page must have the .php extension for this to work, also make sure your host supports PHP.

I hope I have helped!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the suggestions - I'm still considering the options, another being moving to a new hosting company which allows multiple domains on a single server.

Been looking around since I discovered that my current hosting co's SQL server is limited to 10 connections max!!
