Abinidi, thanks for the explanation. TCH-Dick - What I was asking was how do I do such a thing as mask a domain name? Would this require me to put two domain names on my host (which is not allowed)? or is there a easier way? I posted this question on a different forum and people thought I had bad intentions, just to clear things up a little. I am using a seperate website for a blog of mine. I would like to give some friends the webaddress, but the name is way to long, so for that reason I want to buy a new domain name and redirect/park it at that blog. I then need it masked because I have realized from my other blogs that people keep copy and pasting out of the address bar and not the webaddress i give them, so it will be hard for others to remember the address.

Yah the site would not be on Totalchoicehosting since it has not relation to the current website I have. Dick, when you say park, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean I can have two domain names pointing to the same main page? Serpentine, what exactly is required to mask a domain name? is it illegal?

Hey Guys, I was wondering if it was possible for me to buy another domain name and have it directed to a specific page of a website not owned by myself? As an example: I buy www.DomainName.com and would like it to be directed to www.somewebsite.com/folder1/page1.htm (this page would not be mine). Is this possible? I know I could redirect a page by using HTML code. Also, when a person uses my domain name, will the address bar show it as my domain name or the actual websites domain name? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Well I appreciate all the help you guys have given me, ill try asking on the wordpress support forums. Thanks for hte great forums and webhost. Keep it up.

First of all, I must say that I am impressed at the responce rate on these forums. You guys are awsome Secondly, sorry for delayed post. You guys are just to fast at replying =D Ok, I understand the whole concept now. Hopefully this will be my last question. Since I am using Wordpress. By moving my contents from one folder into another, will this mean that I have to resetup the database in anyway? or will everything transfer properly by me moving all its contents?

Ah so thats where I probably went wrong. I created the folder first. So right now would my only option would be to move all my files to the other folder, reset my DB or start all over again, right? Is there a way I can refer my subdomain to the folder I already created without using a redirect? I currently use wordpress and Im not to clear about moving the files around. Im afriad it might mess with my settings and previous posts. EDIT: added more details and made sure everything was in English, not gibberish

Maybe im not thinking straight, but I am unsure how I am supposed to set it up. So right now I am in my CPanel page, I click on the Subdomains Icon and it gives me a few options, create a new Subdomain, Setup Redirections, Remove Redirection and Delete subdomain. Am I in the wrong spot? If I do not setup a redirect then how does the http://wowui.beyondeight.com Subdomain know to go to http://www.beyondeight.com/WoWUI ? Thanks for your help.

First, when looking at your profile, it seems you have never been properly welcomed to the forums (even though your first post was a year ago). So without further ado, Welcome to the forums!! Ok. Back to business. I've never encountered the problem that you are describing. Usually when I create a subdomain, users only see the subdomain in the URL unless I have added a redirect for that subdomain. So If I create a subdomain whatever.mydomain.tld then the users see whatever.mydomain.tld, even though the file they are viewing is actually located at www.mydomain.tld/whatever. That is the behaviour you want. You don't need to set up redirection for this to occur. However, If I create a subdomain whatever2.mydomain.tld and then I create a redirection for that subdomain to www.mydomain.tld/whatever2, the users will not see the subdomain URL in the address bar. So maybe you should check to make sure you haven't added redirection to your subdomain. If you have, it is easy to remove, and then the URL will show like you want it to. I just verified this with my site, and it works like I've described. If you haven't set up redirection, post back, and maybe somebody else has an idea that will help. Edit for grammar and punctuation. You'd think I wasn't an English major in college... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha, thank you very much for the welcome... Ever since I used this hosting I have been really happy and never had to ask any questions, thats why I haven't been around. I will try your advise about not using a redirect, I think I did redirect my subdomain and therefore my problem. No worries about puctuation, I don't puctuate properly and I'm to use to reading posts that are terrible P.S Sorry for the double post, I didn't get redirected to the forums so I refreshed and therefore the double post.

Hey guys, I need some help with setting up a subdomain. I currently have a subdomain that I created. http://wowui.beyondeight.com and it works great in gettting people to the correct page. The problem I have is that when they get to my page, instead of seeing the subdomains address, they see the actual address where I kept the page (ie. http://www.beyondeight.com/WoWUI/). Is there a way that I overlooked that will allow me to show subdomain address in the address bar instead?

doh. haha didnt realize i dont need it for MT, thanks

Hi i need these two things installed on my server, what must i do to get it installed?

I just logged on to my account with my FTP client and found that in the public_html folder i have a number of _VTI_* folders. What are they used for? do i need them? it was not present in my last server so im just curious

two more question, is the only difference between starter and silver packages the bandwidth and space? and can i upgrade to silver at anytime if starter is not sufficient?

How has your support been with MT.cgi script? I just started a webpage and my previous server could not handle the rebuild time when i tried to setup my photo gallery. Has this been a problem with your current clients? also do you guys have image magick?
