Masked forwarded website.

[coaster]

I have just brought a new domain name because it was relevent to my own site. The trouble is that my host only masks the URL and has no option to remove the masking. Will google ban me from the PR scheme if it detects the URL and thinks I have a mirror site when in fact its just a forwaded URL.

Very new to this so bare with me :)
Thanks

Free hint: get a better host. For the price of a couple Big Macs a month my host lets me use my own domain name in the usual way. This is why I bought my domain names. If my host becomes inadequate, I can just FTP the site to a new host, point the domain name to the new host, and that is it.

Its 1+1 internet, I personally thought they were supposed to be the best? Maybe not

Besides it doesnt really answer the question of which an answer would be appreciated :)

Cheers

Placed in HTML should break the masking (just posting this in case it helps someone)

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

<!--
if (parent.frames.length > 0) {
parent.location.href = location.href
}
//-->

</SCRIPT>

Hello Coaster and welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I have just brought a new domain name because it was relevent to my own site. The trouble is that my host only masks the URL and has no option to remove the masking. Will google ban me from the PR scheme if it detects the URL and thinks I have a mirror site when in fact its just a forwaded URL.

No, I don't think so - I put up a site like that for a local charity - a domain name for £5 a year, and a free ISP for the content, and no charges for bandwidth used - the charity are very pleased!

The domain name cloaks the (free-ISP) site in an empty frame, with a no-frames code snippet that offers the user a link to enter the free ISP site.

The site's doing well, and the content isn't duplicate, because of the way it's done. The only downside is that the Google snippet isn't particularly good, but the charity are delighted nonetheless.
