web forwarders

[ace2109]

Hi guys,
wasnt sure where to put this but needed a quick reply, I need to host a site but want it to have its own web address, something like www.megalife.com.

Am i right in saying that if i add a forwarder to my account it will automatically point towards this site??? (Obviously with a few settings needed)

Try asking in networking or HTML and web. I've RTM'ed this for you so it should get moved shortly...

Dont think i explained this right maybe this will help

My hosting domain for clients it www.clients.pcsupergeeks.co.uk
Each client is hosted in a separate file like this www.clients.pcsupergeeks.co.uk/clientname

What i need to do is, when someone types in www.mega-life.co.uk it will automatically go to www.clients.pcsupergeeks.co.uk/clientname

thanks again

You can do this from your domain's configuration settings. Just look for something called "Forwarding" or "Web Forwarding", something like that.

Yes you can, but it's far from ideal.

You can either use direct web page forwarding, where if someone types in www.mega-life.co.uk the address is immediately translated to www.clients.pcsupergeeks.co.uk/whatever (and that's what's shown in the address bar), or you can use framed web page forwarding and all they ever see in the address bar is www.mega-life.co.uk.

Both are pants and if you're in any way serious you'll configure a virtual host, along with the appropriate DNS or nameserver entries so requests for that domain are pointed to your webserver. Whichever you decide to go, whether you can do it, how you go about it and what it's called (the terminology varies) will depend on your hosting package and registrar.
