Domain Question

AlternativeNick
Hi, im wondering if i could set up a domain pointed at a specific file on my hosting.

I currently have www.altscripts.net/paste.php, and id like to have www.altpaste.net point to that page (not a redirect)

the question that im asking is, how would i set that up? i know a parked domain will point to my main domain correct?

also. id like any get data included in the url (ex. www.altpaste.net/?act=view&id=1 => www.altscripts.net/paste.php?act=view&id=1)

if you can direct me, id really appreciate it, thanks smile.gif

Nick either way you cut it, you will need to set up a redirect. So for what your asking you would either purchase new domains and redirect that way or set up sub-sub domains in the add-on domains section in your cpanel.

To answer your second question yes when your parking your domain in your trap17 cpanel it will point to that TLD.

The next part it could be done in the redirect but you would have to set up a php navigation script like so

Hopefully that helps you out nick.

It's a tough question because I don't understand the question intended.

You have your domain. You also have index file for your domain. But instead of index, you want your domain to point to another file instead of index file?

Couldn't you make paste.php to index.php? Problem solved.

But are you asking leave the current index as is and make your domain point to another file named paste.php?? Still doesn't make any sense of what you are asking but if you want to set so that when people type your domain name, it goes straight to domain/paste.php, you can redefine which file to be shown as the first page in your .htaccess file. You can define which file to be loaded first.

This is another trick where home.html can be used for some ISP hosting services and google hosting service.

dear AlternativeNick you want url forwarding ?
you must parket new domain in your cpanel
when i typing this url : www.olddomain.com/page.php?id=1
cpanel redirect user to this url : www.newdomain.com/page.php?id=1

have good time

erm..maybe this is want you want (don`t know, you were given several solving methods, I`ll just add mine tongue.gif):
put this code in a htaccess file and upload it in the root of your site:
QUOTE

DirectoryIndex paste.php

or whatever file you want...this will load paste.php, instead of index.php when someone visits altscripts.net

Hope that`s what you need smile.gif

Here is another thought:

If you want to keep your current index.php as is but want to make paste.php as your home page, you can rename it simply to index.html (unless you need it as PHP script).

These are the order in which Trap17 hosting will display your index page.

index.html
index.htm
index.php

I think there is one more but it is not supported by Trap17, I guess. So theoretically you can have 3 index pages in your web hosting...just that only ONE gets to show first.

home.html is also used on some servers as the index.html we are familiar with.

Wow buff you right that could work by changing the .html to .htm .shtml .php .asp then in a way you have you main index's for the site. Then of course you still have to redirect either through the cpanel, php, htaccess, javascript.

what i meant is that i have 2 domains, altscripts.net and altpaste.net

i wanted for altpaste.net to point to this file altscripts.net/paste.php

i changed some things around, and made a subdomain from altscripts.net (paste.altscripts.net) and added altpaste.net as an addon domain, pointed to paste.altscripts.net

sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the replies. i never knew you could do all that with htaccess smile.gif

Of course I learned something new about the index's and I always thought the index's would have been overridden regardless of the doc type.

Of course I just got confused by your last post Nick laugh.gif. But I think I got it though. Glad one of those responses helped out happy.gif.

    CO.CC - http://www.co.cc/ Domain Mapping is the process of pointing a registered domain name to a
    blog or photo album. Domain mapping is more than domain forwarding (Free domains that are ending
    with .tk and .co.nr), because your permalinks and URL contain the address of your domain
    (www.you.co.cc), and not a sub-domain (example.trap17.com). You can map a CO.CC domain to your blog
    or photo album. In order to use domain mapping, you must create and modify A , MX , and
    CNAME records. CO.CC supports free DNS services. This means that CO.CC gives you cont....
