domain name to a sub web? - 11/11/2003 12:41:19
K, guys, here's something new to me. I have registered a domain name for a site that is (hopefully!) going to exist as the sub web for another site. Is it going to be a issue with pointing the domain to the index.htm in the sub web? Anything I need to know? Thanks!

If you're hosted on *nix, and hosting service allows your own .htaccess, you can do a 301 redirect.
Open notepad, and put the following: in the root folder of the domain.
redirect 301 /index.htm http://subdomain.otherdomain.com
So it is: redirect (space) 301 (space) slash and then any files or folders (I think a slash alone will grab everything) (space) new location you want to send it to.
Save this as .htaccess and ftp to your server of the domain you are wanting to redirect.
A better explanation is here: http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles3/spiders-301-redirect.htm
which is where I got the information to try it for a site of mine.

Great information to tuck away for future use, Nancy; thanks! But, no, we are hosted on a Windows Server 2003.
