One website, two domain names?
3 September 2009 at 8:20pm
I have a website which is split into two, as there are two distinct parts of the business. I would like each to have its own domain name. The second domain name is parked on the server, so whether a visitor enters www.domain1.com or www.domain2.com, they are directed to the "normal" homepage.
I would like users entering www.domain1.com to continue to go to the "normal" homepage, and users entering www.domain2.com to go to /domain2/
I had thought that this would be a simple case of putting a 301 redirect on the server, but that doesn't work for some reason.
My host has suggested .htaccess rewrites, but I don't know if this would work (and have no idea how to do it anyway).
Can anybody help me, please?

Maybe something like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain2.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/domain2/$1 [R=301,L]That will redirect everything from domain2 to that bottom url using a 301.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, my host and I have tried that and it doesn't work.
In their words: "I tried adding rewrites to your .htaccess but it follows that if your redirecting the root to a subfolder, and your parking a domain onto the route, the parked domain will point to the same place as the main domain."
Is there any other way around this?
Thanks
