Can I permanently redirect/forward a domain to a subpage on a different website?

by John Williamson
7 replies
Hey guys, I know how to redirect a domain to another domain, but is there an 'easy' way to redirect a top-level domain to a subpage of a separate website?

For example, "xxx.site1.com" redirects to "xxx.site2.com/subpage1/"

Or is this even possible?

Thanks.

    Sure you can. If your website is on an Apache server, you can do that with a .htaccess file. Create a file with notepad and name it .htaccess without any extensions. Insert the following code into that file:

    Code:
    Redirect 301 / http://www.site2.com/subpage1/
    Upload the .htaccess file into the root directory of site1 (where its index file is).

    engines will catch this ; only way if SEO is important is to "scrap" the page on remote server; and serve it up as a page on your current server.

      You can use a meta tag html code as well included in your main domain's index file.

      PHP is able to do a forwarding, as well.

    Thanks for the tips guys. Would the process still be possible if I want to redirect a subpage on site 1 to a subpage on site 2?

      Just noticed there was a programming area - at least I know something about this subject. IM not so much...

      Yes, you can redirect any page to any page - "sub" or not.

      Are you redirecting from a specific sub-page or from a specific type of sub-page? (for example: from a page xyz.html OR from any page in a certain directory?)

    I simply do this inside my web hosting cpanel. All the other methods are much more complexicated IMHO. Try it, you'll like it!
