Ginja_Ninja Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) 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 Your comments and queries are much apprecaited. Take Care All G_N Edited September 25, 2005 by Ginja_Ninja Quote
TCH-Andy Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I assume you want your .co.uk domain to show exactly the same files as the .com domain. If so, simply set the DNS to our nameservers, and open a ticket asking us to park the domain name for you. It would then not be done using frames or anything nasty that way. Quote
Ginja_Ninja Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Thanks for your reply I assume you want your .co.uk domain to show exactly the same files as the .com domain. If so, simply set the DNS to our nameservers, and open a ticket asking us to park the domain name for you. It would then not be done using frames or anything nasty that way. So if i was to type MYDOMAIN.co.uk, it would be as though i typed the domain with a dot com ? Edited September 25, 2005 by Ginja_Ninja Quote
