Redirecting second domain, hosted on same Deluxe Linux Hosting plan

Let’s say I have http://originaldomain.com and registered a new domain (http://newdomain.com) and have pointed http://newdomain.com to http://originaldomain.com/1/ how can I get http://newdomain.com to go to its own index.htm page when visitors go to http://newdomain.com

@lvega75

After setting up newdomain.com to point to originaldomain.com/1/, you will want to ensure you have an index file uploaded into the “1″ directory and that newdomain.com is pointing to the right nameservers. If you need to verify your nameservers, you can use this help article:

If you are still having difficulty in getting the new domain to pull up its own index file, please reply with the specific domain and I may be able to review its configuration to give additional steps on resolving the issue.

Thanks for the information; however, I seem to be clueless as to how to set my new domain up. The originally hosted domain is http://alamolandscapecurbing.com and http://alamokwikkerb.com also redirects to that domain. The most recently purchased domain, http://laurasvisions.com is the one I am trying to set up to go to its own index.htm page, which I placed at http://alamolandscapecurbing.com/1/

Additionally, I want visitors to see http://LaurasVisions.com as the url when visiting the site, rather than seeing http://alamoslandscapecurbing.com/1/index.htm

Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for providing the domain names. I was able to determine that LaurasVisions.com is resolving to our domain forwarding IP address and not to the IP address for your hosting plan. You will need to use the following articles to find your hosting IP address and update it for your domain:

Thank again. I’ll take a look at those articles.

Okay, I got the hosting account’s IP address figured out, but that’s the extent of my understanding. =/

I took a look at LaurasVisions.com again and you got it working as you intended! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Okay, now I have LaurasVisions.com pointing where I want it; however, if I create other pages that belong to LaurasVisions.com (for example, a gallery.htm page), where do I place those pages, and how do I get the URL to read LaurasVisions.com/gallery.htm rather than it being redirected to say AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com/1/pages/gallery.htm

Thank you for your continued support.

When uploading more files for your LaurasVisions.com domain, you will want to put them at least under the ‘AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com/1/’ pathing in the File Manager or FTP client you use and depending on how your site is coded you may have additional directories under ’1′ like your example AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com/1/pages/gallery.htm where the files need to be placed.

Now that your LaurasVisions.com is properly configured, your users will see the file structure in the address bar as LaurasVisions.com/pages/gallery.htm and not your primary hosted domain and absolute path if that makes sense.

I’m still attempting to go to a link I have set up on my LaurasVisions.com and seeing AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com in the file structure in the address bar. Maybe something within my HTML is causing this?

Thank you,
Laura

@lvega75

When I go to LaurasVisions.com and look at your links, they are all referencing a file path within AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com, for example AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com/pages/process.htm is the first link. You will want to make sure that within your index file for LaurasVisions.com your links reference the path for LaurasVisions.com (LaurasVisions.com/pages/process.htm) and not AlamoLandscapeCurbing.com. This should be a pretty quick fix as long as the right files are uploaded already.

Dear Tim B,
i have a hosting deluxe plan where I have two domains. main (chachapa-ipc.com) and the second(nufolka.com). the problem is with the latter domain.

i bought the second domain via google and registered in godaddy. i already checked the nameservers and they are pointing to the correct DNS’s hosts:

Primary DNS Host: ns23.domaincontrol.com
Secondary DNS Host: ns24.domaincontrol.com

i set an index.html for the nufolka.com in the proper “/nufolka” folder, but i still get the 404 error for the nufolka.com website. it has been already more than 48 hours.

hope you can help me.

Were you able to get this resolved? When I access nufolka.com the same site loads as for chachapa-ipc.com/nufolka.
