How do you redirect a domain to a different landing page on a website?

Factual Questions

Hopefully this will make sense.

Say I have a website called www.test.com (it probably exists but I am making all the URLs up for this post).

I have a second website called www.oldsite.com.

I want to have the website www.oldsite.com to point to a page on www.test.com so if you go to www.othersite.com in your browser you get redirected to www.test.com/newsite.

I know how to get the domain pointed to the right server (update DNS). I also am aware you can redirect people who hit www.test.com to www.test.com/newsite.

What I want though is for people who type in www.test.com to land at www.test.com and people who type www.oldsite.com to land at www.test.com/newsite.

How do I do this?

You configure your website at www.oldsite.com to issue a HTTP 302 redirect.

Thanks! :smiley:

That did the trick except I did a 301 redirect because it is permanent and seems that it is search engine friendly.

Good choice, glad I could help.
