Redirect

[Kredo]

I'm using this code in .httaccess file for redirection using apache
" Redirect / [redirectdomain.com...] "
but what code do I need to cloak the URL? Lets say I'm redirect from www.1.com to www.2.com. What I need is when some user enters to www.1.com and it redirects him to www.2.com, he still sees www.1.com in the address line. Please help.
Thanks

Kredo,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

If you redirect from one server to another, then the address bar will change.

You might look into using an IFRAME, but I haven't personally used that method. You can use the site search here on WebmasterWorld for more info.

Be advised that search engines don't like tricky redirects, and the penalty can be a permanent ban.

It's not for official site or something...just my own home page. The thing is that I already have web space but I need new registered domain to redirect to this space, that way I don't have to pay for full hosting.

Hi:

I THINK if you use the Pasthrough attribute ([PT]), it will NOT update the URL... BUT, I think it has to be on the same server or VH.... it cannot go to a different domain name.

EX:

rewriterule ^/$ /newpage.html [PT]

that's the problem, I need it on different domain name. :/

Kredo:

I have been trying to do that... go to a different domain w/o showing the update... and (so far) I have not been able to. I even tried using URI's instead of URL's (as they are both on the same machine, I can do that) and no go...

sorry for the bad news!
