menttal Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Ok i have been reading through alot of these threads in discussion to this so please correct me where i am wrong. Is it true that with my hosting account i can point as many domains i want to my Main Domain? I can then make that a dummy site that redirects to one of my Sub Domains? Rock Sign Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 You can only point a domain to a subdomain of you have a reseller account. Otherwise you can have as many domains as you want pointing to your main index. This is referred to as "parking a domain". Quote
menttal Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 Ok i understand that but i can then make my main domain redirected to a sub domain right? Im sure i read that somewhere inhere. So i can point all my domains or park them on the main site and then make the main domain redirect to a sub domain right? Is that correct or am i missing something. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 So that even your main domain gets redirected? I am not sure I see the point but as long as all domains get pointed to the EXACT same place then I doubt there would be an issue with what is done after that. I feel it is bordering on an AUP violation however I would prefer staff to set the record straight on this particular question. Quote

What is AUP?...is that like terms of service? Quote
TCH-Andy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Hi, yes, AuP is the Acceptable Use Policy Quote
menttal Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 Hi, yes, AuP is the Acceptable Use Policy So is rob right would that be a violation? Quote
TCH-Andy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 If you are redirecting different domain names to different sub-domains, then it would be a violation - Yes. Quote
menttal Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 If you are redirecting different domain names to different sub-domains, then it would be a violation - Yes. Well that is not exactly what I want to do. I want to point all my parked domains to my main domain. Then redirect that main domain page to one subdomain. Is that possible? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Then redirect that main domain page to one subdomain Wouldnt placing subdomains content on main page/domain have same effect? Quote
TCH-Andy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I'm not sure I understand - Sorry. Why do you want to redirect all your domains (including parked domains) to a single subdirectory, rather than the main domain? Quote
Madmanmcp Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 ::totally lost as to what this would accomplish:: redirecting only to be redirected again...why not redirect to the correct spot to begin with? Quote
menttal Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 I dont have a Resellers account so I have a main logo page i then have a home page and a Forum page. I have domain names to the diff pages but since pointing to a subdomain is not allowed they are kind not being used. So with that said I read a thread about redirecting index.html pages to subdomains. So i was curious if that is what i could do or if i read it all wrong. Since i can only point domains to my main page and all. Quote
LisaJill Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 What you describe would be a violation of the AUP. A different method of doing it doesn't make it within the rules. =) Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Why not create subdomains and then on your frontpage, make links leading to these subdomains? And also write their paths on that page like subdomain.domain.com (instead of "Click here to go to my car section"), then the visitors will know what adress to go to directly next time. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 It's against the rules, if you want to host multiple domains on your account you will need a reseller account. If we check your account and it has multiple domains redirected to subdomains etc, your account will be suspended. This has been gone over many many many times, we do not allow multiple domains to be hosted on a standard hosting plan. No matter how you do it, redirect, .htaccess etc it is against the rules. Quote
menttal Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 Yeah i havent done any of that yet i have been doing like the guy saiud above and just have buttons on my home page that point to the diff subsections and domains. I must have misunderstood the other thread that i read oh well. That is why i asked here before i did anything. Thanks to all the members and the TCH team that responded. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Quote
