    Subdomains

    Hello.
    I would like to know if i can direct my subdomains to another remote site instead of only in my directory.

    I want to make my life easy and have :
    i.e webmail.example.com forward to https://*************34.com/webmail.

    The only way I have been able to do that is to setup the subdomain like you normally would and then publish a page with either a redirect to the specified URL or load the target URL into an iframe.

      Yeah that's the only way I've been able to do it.

      My last host had the ability to do this; I'm not sure why RSP doesn't. It certainly does come in handy for things like mail.domain to webmail, store.domain to cafepress, affiliates.domain to rsp affiliate link, etc.

          The easiest way is to use a meta refresh.

          <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
          content="10; URL=http://the URL of the second page">

          Place the target URL inbetween the quotes of the Meta tag I pasted above. You can change the number to any number you like. 5 and 10 is a good number to use. Create your subdomain. Create a new page. Paste that Meta tag between your <head></head> tags. Give your page a view and the page will redirect you to the specified URL in however many seconds you specified.

            Thanks for your very nice explanation.
            Is there anyway the subdomain could be masked. i.e stay in the browser.?

              With a frame. I think this will work:

              HTML Code:
              <html>
<head>
<title>Webmail</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
    <frame name="webmail" src="WEBMAIL URL" scrolling="auto">
</frameset>
<noframes>
  <body>

  Your browser doesn't support frames. Please update it.

  </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>

</html>
