Help - Redirecting URLs from one Domain

by terryrayburn
5 replies
I know I've seen this solution before, but I can't find it:

How do you redirect to various sites from one domain and extension?

For example,

mysite.com/acne
mysite.com/dogtraining

Please be specific, I'm very ungeeky about these things.

BTW, I use Hostgator with cPanel, if that matters.

Thanks.

    Well, it doesn't get any more 'untechie' than this. It's what I use so it must be idiot proof.

    Honestly, I would avoid iframes -- or any kind of frames -- whenever possible.

    If you have a self-hosted WordPress site, you can use a plugin called Go Codes that will allow you to create redirect links from within your dashboard.

    You can also find standalone software that will do the same thing. I used a script several years ago that did this, but don't remember the name now.

    I would use htaccess and mod rewrite. That will give a nice 301 for the users and search engines.

    the best and easist way AFAIK is given below:

    to have the link mysite.com/acne to point to your affiliate product about acne that has URL like www.acneproductname.com/?affid=78

    step 1:
    create a folder named "acne" in root directory of your site

    step 2:
    create a file named index.php in the newly created directory "acne"
    with the following CODE ALONE

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    header    ( 'Location: http://www.acneproductname.com/?affid=78' ) ;
    ?>
    replace the affiliate link in above code accordingly

    similarly for mysite.com/dogtraining create a directory for dogtraining with an index.php there pointing to that affiliate link.

    thank you
