right, i have a little technical hitch.

i accidentally ordered the wrong hosting package for somebody and now they need asp support and the package doesn't have that.

anyway, i have masses of webspace on my own webhosting package.

basically what i want to do is direct www.myclientssite.com to www.myownwebspace.com, but keeping the URL for www.myclientssite.com visible in the address bar at all times.

is this possible?

I dont think so, why dont u ask the hosting package to get the ASP plug in if they are running apache or somewhat.

Is it a linux box that ur website is on?

i think i might have done it using an iframe.

 

[Guy]

it can be done via the 'add on domain' function cant it??

i have www.10sax.co.uk on my www.guysleeman.co.uk hosting? and the address stays visible in the bar all the time

used to have a couple of websites all on the same host and the address bar always displayed the correct domain name when navigating through the site

Easy, redirect the client domain name to your servers IP addy, use apache web server and set up virtual domains so that the correct site is displayed by the server depending on which domain they come from.. that way you can keep any existing sites on your web space.

You are not supposed to give him the answer, he is supposed to figure it out !!!!

Now that KDF has told you. Thats how you do it.

A domain name i.e sexy.com will be pointing to DNS servers, then those DNS servers point to where the website is hosted, could be on the same server or somewhere else.

All you need to do is change your DNS records of the domain and change it to where you want it hosted.

for instance www.fg-designs.co.uk points to NS1.asitc.net and NS2.asitc.net then they point it accordingly to the webserver where the files are stored. From the NS servers you can do alot of stuff.

you can change the DNS records from the domain control panel, you can get onto it via the user name and password that they sent you when you bought it. (via email normally)

If you want a deeper explanation I will be more than happy to answer it for you.
