I have a domain setup and the owner requires it to point to his other site that is hosted elsewhere. I did a ping on it's www address but if I point my DNS to that address, it points to a different site on that IP address. What to do? ----- Hi Richard, I thought the error 404 suggestion was an interesting approach, not my choice however. Simply create a basic index.html file with a meta refresh tag in the head section.
The 404 approach allows for bad urls like, "oh I remember the page it was xyz at the domain.com" and so www.thedomain.com/xyz.html is typed in , they still go to www.theotheromain.tld/index.html
I forgot to mention that the index file should also be there with a redirect. Using both will prevent user frustration. - Bill ------------------------------------ William J.A.
