dsdemmin Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 [brushes dust off from long absence ] Hey gang, how do Parked domains work? I have a client who I have parked a second domain: Domain: www.discount-pumps.biz Parked Domains: discountpumps.biz What I would like is a permanent redirect (i.e. discountpumps.biz is permantly redirected to discount-pumps.biz). Right now both URLs are functional... both pointing to the same page but each with a unique URL (which is carried out throughout all the internal links). How would I go about making only one unique URL (e.g. 301-like redirect)? Is this possible? Thanks for any feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Scott, Why not set it up to forward right from the registrar? Most offer forwarding as an option and you wouldnt have to set up anything like a redirect. You will unpark it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsdemmin Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 That is what I will do (or actually just did). I thought that a parked domain here would do that though (i.e. default to the forwarding domain's URL). Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Any time Scott. Nice to "see" you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 You can do it through htaccess redirects, but it's easier just to do it the way you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsdemmin Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 I was curious... When I unparked discountpumps.biz I received this from WebHost Manager: >discountpumps.biz -> deleted from server19. discountpumps.biz -> deleted from server28. discountpumps.biz -> deleted from server18. discountpumps.biz -> deleted from server16. Updating Mail Routes...Done Removing localdomains entires.... Removing ServerAlias line....Done Parked Domain discountpumps.biz Unparked! Looks strange to me, why so many servers?

jslagle Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Aren't the "extra's" the TCH domain servers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Aren't the "extra's" the TCH domain servers? Yep, removing from DNS servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
