Showing only the Domain Name in the Address Bar

Mask the full URL

[firstclass]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to just show the domain name in the address bar without the rest of the URL? ie www.domainname.com/ as opposed to www.domainname.com/page.html

I am wrunning a dedicated server and have access to the Apache configuration.

I've seen web hosts offering this service but have searched the net and everything points to the mod_rewrite module although it looks to me that that actually changes the page the user is viewing.

Any help on this subject would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

Just read your question and I am no apache expert but are you sure they dont use frames in the html to do this?

Hi firstclass,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I would start in the Library [webmasterworld.com].

Basically, mod_rewrite either serves information to a location other than the information at the one requested, or when a location is requested redirects to another location.

If you have a way of passing the variables that would change the content of the page (EG POST) then you could use mod_rewrite if you needed to. Personally, I think the frames are a better idea.
