Hello there,
I had to buy my .co.uk domain names from another company because at the time, tch did not offer this service.
So i bought my .co.uk's knowing that the company i bought them with allows, url redirection/forwarding. However.....
The method they employ is to view the .com through a frameset when visiting the .co.uk. A method that i am not personally satified with. I have contacted the company in question and they will not change the method. They did send me some code that breaks out of frames.
><script language="JavaScript">if (parent.frames.length > 0) { parent.location.href = location.href } </SCRIPT>
But i had already implemented something similar in the <body> tag:
><body onload="if(top.frames.length>0)top.location='http://www.THEDOMAIN.com';">
Now, my worry is that i will get peanlised by search engines for doing this. Secondly i "personally" dont want frames in any of the work i do. Thirdly, search engine dont like frames that much. Various other reasons.
Really wouyldnt it be better to have the domain actually directly point to the correct ip address ?
eg. THEDOMAIN.com is on ip 123.456.789.000, so THEDOMAIN.co.uk should also point to 123.456.789.00
?
The company in question is a very well respected one in the UK, but if they can not accomodate y need maybe i should look elsewere. If tch offered transferes of .co.uk, i would make it happen today, but they dont at present. Does anybody know of a reason for this ? Technical issue ?
I am a bit of a perfectionist, and i want my setups to be "ideal" not "ok". Just me
