Domain/site Redirection Question

[kellybellydotnet]

I've been searching for about an hour right now and didn't find any hint that this is against the AUP. I wanted to run this by you fine folks before I tried it in case I missed something.

 

The facts:

1. Friend has a domain registered (www.domain.com).

3. Friend wants www.domain.com to forward to his MySpace page.

3. Friend doesn't want to pay for forwarding/masking via the registrar.

4. I have a reseller account.

 

Would it violate the AUP if I set up a small hosting account on my reseller account, and have the index page of said account immediately redirect to the MySpace page, and possibly set up an email forwarder also?

 

I debated about posting this in Reseller Central; I apologize if this would be better suited there.

Go for it.

On a reseller account, that is fine. As Rob says, "Go for it", it will be not be a problem as you are on a reseller

Thanks a lot guys. The last thing I wanted to do was go against the AUP.

 

My friend teaches guitar lessons, and because many of his students are in high school (or younger) MySpace has been doing very well for him to recruit new students and keep in touch with current ones.

 

Now he wants some business cards. He and the designer came to the conclusion that it will look more professional to have a "real" website address on them... but he didn't want to give up the ease and familiarity of MySpace, nor pay the extra money to forward the domain with the registrar. If we couldn't do it this way he'd just park the domain until the time comes when he wants to develop a "real" site and put the MySpace URL on the b.c.

 

I'm going to do a redirect in .htaccess. I know there are a few more ways I can do this (META redirect, rewrite rule, even a PHP include) ... would this be the best?
