Mydomain.com services

[BrendanWX]

I've got a site with f2s, but I don't want to buy a domain from them. I plan on buying a full domain from godaddy.com, and using mydomain.com to forward it to f2s. I heard that mydomain.com can utilize stealth redirection and path forwarding to make your domain a full one (www.domain.com/file.html). Is this true? If so, how do you activate path forwarding?

do you mean when you type www.domain.com/abc.html, and it's redirected to www.yourname.f2s.com/abc.html?

If so, when you setup a domain with mydomain.com, you can choose stealth redirection, pointing to IP, etc. I think there's a function there letting you choose what you want.

IP pointing only works with a static IP. It won't work with a free host.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't se any way to get a redirected domain to work as a hosted one.

However you set it up you have to some way or another tell people to use the domain URL, by clicking a link or whatever. The engines will find and direct to the real URL anyway, won't they? :confused:

This solution isn't quite as good as IP pointing but at least it will get people in to the general area of the site that they want to view and still keep your domain in the address bar.

Subdomains can be used to have URLs with your domain that redirect to specific pages or directories.
Examples:
http://forums.yourdomain.com would redirect to http://www.yourname.f2s.com/forums/
http://help.yourdomain.com would redirect to http://www.yourname.f2s.com/help.html

subdomain.yourdomain.com would show in the address window if you use stealth redirection (cloaking)

The subdomains don't even have to be on the same host. You could have your main site on Geocities and your forums at f2s.

It isn't practical to do this with every page unless you have very few pages. It works best to just have subdomains for a few areas of a site (forums, newsletter, etc.).
