"Masked" Forwarding, aliasing a domain and all that - How To Do that!


Recommended Posts

hello dear PHPFreaks

hope your are all right and all is okay at your site!

i have four domains that need to get "connencted to one" target

 

www.foo-bar-one.org
www.foo-bar-two.org
www.foo-bar-three.org
www.foo-bar-four.org

all those sites should show only one content - that of  www.foo-bar-one.org

is this possible?


in other words; The question of the day meets an issue i am faced with: Forwarding example.COM to example.NET

what does the visitor see:

a. as a site?
b. what does the adressbar display?

Question: is it possible to do a forwarding that shows the domain-name "example.com" in the adressbar? -.... and shows the content of example.net

well to be frank; i guess that it's possible to forward the domain name without change in the address bar. It is called

"Masked" Forwarding

This type of forwarding is used to forward your domain to another website, while keeping your domain or subdomain name
in the web browser's address bar. The real address does not appear, but you will have very poor search-engine ranking.

But why is this so!? - and which options are there - which alternatives?


love to hear  from you

your friend

As long as all of those domains are pointing to the same IP,... AND you have all port 80 requests being directed to the same Webroot, then they should all go to the same place while maintaining the respective domain in the addressbar.

Right. Do not redirect, make sure your website doesn't have the domain name hardcoded anywhere, and make sure your web server is configured to show the same site/virtualhost for all four domain names.

 

 

Mind the SEO impact, though. If all four websites show the exact same content then they will all be punished for it in the search results. To be frank, what you want to do is a bad idea.

many many thanks for all the answers - well as it seems now - i will think abut this steps - if you say that this is not very clever  - then i guess that i surely will think it over

 

first of all - many many thanks
