Domain Names for Sale

**EagleGlenRE** · 04-18-2003, 08:03 PM

OK. I'm not a knowledgeable webmaster, but I'm my own webmaster for my Real Estate site & I use Frontpage.

Question: Can I have one front (index) page for "EagleGlenRE" and another for "CoronasBestHomes" which are each customized to the URL but leading to the same basic site? To furthur complicate it, could my "home" link in the navigation structure return the "EagleGlen" to "EagleGlen" and the "Corona" back to "Corona"? If not, can I have a whatchmacallit...different cover page for each URL(with it's own meta tags, etc) that each open to the index page of the site?

Currently, they are just different URLS leading to the same site.

Thanks in advance for answers!

There are two ways to do this. Either you can use a bit of scripting (e.g. PHP) to customize the page. In PHP:

PHP Code:


			
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

should contain the domain of the current site which has been requested. You could then process this to output the correct information.

Alternately, you could redirect using that, with a simple PHP page as your main page redirecting to the correct home page on the server.

The final option would be to use .htaccess. Create a .htaccess file in the main directory on your server and put the following code in it:
# redirect domain2.com to subdir

Code:

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain2.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subdirectory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdirectory/$1 [L]

replacing domain2.com and subdirectory with the appropriate information.
