I am creating a web page for a group that I’m a member of. When I make it official, I want it to look like a sub-page from the group’s domain; however, it’s written in PHP and mysql, so I need to keep the source on my webhost.
Does this make sense? Right now the url is “www.zyada-stuff/projectpage” but I want it to look like “www.grouphome/projectpage”
FYI, the actual page is a gallery of items for sale, which is why I’m not including actual links to the site.
Um no… otherwise I would just make www.zyada-stuff/projectpage look like paypal.com and start making money.
Unless you buy both URLs and point them to eachother
You just point a subdomain of their domain to your webhost. This is very simple to do, but the details escape me. My LAMP is packed away right now.
You could have their webmaster set up www.grouphome/projectpage to redirect to your page.
Or you could move your files over onto their hosting. They could set up the subdomain for you, and give you your own FTP login and password.
Either way, it would require their webmaster to set up something on their end.
You could also display your content in an iframe on their page. This is often called “domain cloaking”.
I am assuming you want to change
www.zyada-stuff/projectpage.com "
but I want it to look like “www.grouphome.com/projectpage”
You could make a new domain name grouphome.com and forward it to whatever page you want.
Now you can use a rewrite engine of some sorts to clean up messy urls.
For instance,
Markxxx.com/Blog/Posts.php?Year=2006&Month=12&Day=10
could become
using a rewrite engine
A redirect will still show the target URL in browser’s address box.
I think it’d be easier to get it set up as http://projectpage.grouphome. But you’d still need their help.
