drumcrazypat Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 It seems like I can't find any help around here what-so-ever! The live chat representatives have all takin' a party break, I guess, because I wait for minutes, and then it says it's closed. Everytime. So this is my last resort, I suppose. I'm thinking about purchasing yet another domain (my 4th one from TCH) from TCH. However, I wish to forward this one to a sub-domain of mine. Is this possible? If so, where would I go to make such changes once the domain is purchased? Thanks in advance! Quote

Thanks in advance! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pointing domain names to subdomains or folders is a violation of the AUP if you have a virtual account. You can, however, do this on a reseller account. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 You cannot forward a domain to a subdomain of your site unless you have a reseller account. If you have virtual accounts you will need another virtual account or upgrade to a reseller account and have your other accounts transferred into the reseller account. Quote

drumcrazypat Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Whaaaaat? You have to be kidding me. I thought TCH was the best! I guess I just found a scratch on the pearl. *sigh* Then how do other people do it? I guess some companies out there allow it? I know of several companies that use three or four domains and they all link to the same site, even though it's only hosted at once place. Is this possible anywhere else? Any reccomendations? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 This has been policy since day one. Your subdomains are allowed to be used for any legal purpose. You may not sell the subdomain space to others, nor may you point other domain names to your subfolders. From the Acceptable Use Policy. Quote
drumcrazypat Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Well, I understand that. Hey, rules are rules. Everyone has to have 'em... Guess this means I'm gonna have to buy a NEW domain and NEW hosting accounts just so I can have my own domain. Rediculous. Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Actually this policy is the very reason I am here and not with my last host that allowed it. They went under because it was abused by customers. The servers were overloaded and my site was hardly ever there. If TCH changes the policy I may leave. But they will not, so I am safe. Quote

Deverill Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 It seems like I can't find any help around here what-so-ever! The live chat representatives have all takin' a party break, I guess, because I wait for minutes, and then it says it's closed. Everytime. So this is my last resort, I suppose. Don't forget that the recommended way to get support is to submit a helpdesk ticket. The link is at the top of every page in the forums. As others have said, it's been the policy forever. The truth is that if we could buy a $4/month account and host many sites on it then it would be pretty easy to bring a server (no matter how powerful) to its knees and that's not the way Bill does things. I agree with Don that it sure makes it nice to know our sites are on servers that perform as well as these here do. Quote
Samrc Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Like Don and others, I am glad TCH has the policy! We enjoy terrific uptime and quality servicing. That would be compromised by parking many domains into several subdirectories of a site. I thought TCH was the best! I guess I just found a scratch on the pearl. *sigh* In my humble opinion, having that policy in place is not a scratch on the pearl, but truly a buffing to make the pearl more lustrious! Best option is a RESELLER account and then you can assign all your domain names as you choose, and even allocate bandwidth as necessary. TCH still ROCKS! Quote
wampthing Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I think TCH should have the policy for everyone but myself. If it were me and only me who was allowed to do it then I would be super-mega-awesome Quote
