LOOKING FOR SOLUTION FOR HOSTING SINGLE PAGE SITES

HI.
I'm looking for a solution that I don't know the answer for nor, can I find it in the forums or FAQ. Maybe i'm not looking it up correctly I don't know so let me ask you guys....

I currently have a couple domains registered, both of which are hosted here at DASP. 'Donain1.com, & Domain2.com'

I have a couple more names registered that are not yet hosted (Donain3.com, & Domain4.com).
I would like to use these 2 'un-hosted' domain names to setup single-page sites for each, that will be used to be indexed by web-crawlers and point to my other two sites.

<u>My questions are::</u>

1.) What is the least expensive way to setup a couple of single page sites that are crawlable by the search engines?
2.) Could I setup sub-domains on my site 'Donain1.com' and have the search engines see them as individual sites?
3.) If so what is this called and how do I go about adding it and implementing it?

Thanks for taking the time to try and figure this out.

Hi,
This can be done here.
Add the unlimited domains to your account, then use ASP.NET or Classic ASP to redirect incoming requests.
Take a look in the ASP.NET 2 forum here and you can find some sample code.

Thank you for your response.

Although I think you missed the point just a little.

I am aware about redirects using ASP.

I want to setup static pages with some content on them for the search engine bots. And have a link back to my main working sites.

I hope than I am explainng this correctly

 

It could work with static pages, long as the default page is dynamic.

For example, mydomain.com would be the main site.
If someone comes in via myotherdomain.com they could be redirected to myotherdomain.com/a/staticpage.htm

Would that work for you?

 

No thank you this is not the solution that I am looking for.

 

Once you have sub-domains you can create code for any sub-domain you want.
You add Pointer domains from your Control Panel, any domains you currently own.
They will point to the site root.

Then you can use code to change the domain for traffic on your site as needed.

I got to thinking about your need last night and have not tried but actually you should be able to work on the root.

Let's say you have domain1 as your main.
You add two Pointer Domains, domain2 and domain3.
(No sub-domains needed for this, if it works.)

If a visitor comes in via domain1 all is normal.
domain2 and domain3 will load static pages on the site root.

This would be an example in Classic ASP:
(I'm pretty sure it would work.)

 

I'm pretty sure the only solution is the method I posted.
Domains have to be added to a DNS server to be hit,your server can have multiple domains.
You can pull this off with code without sub-domains but not on the site root, far as I can ascertain anyway.

OK so I order the unlimited sub domain add-on. transfer my names to DASP and will I be able to login to a root of the new sub domains? Will they operate just like my primary domains? Please pardon my ignorance as I have never configured nor used sub domains before.

Thanks..

 

HI.
I'm still trying to come up with a solution to this dilemma. I would contact support and ask them but I already did and they sent me here. They don't seem to want to tell me what they offer and how I can use it.

I have a couple domain names registered that i want to use....

I would like to like add a sub domain to my current space here on DASP and be able to call it MyDomain3.com.... That sounds easy enough... I only wand to use maybe one page in that site with a link to my main web presenses. The thing is, I want the search engines to find it and treat it like its on its own account and index the page(s).

I do not care anything about redirecting. That is easy to do.

Does anyone know if this is possible or what I am even talking about here?

How do you add Pointer domains? I don't see any place in the interface that allows for this. I've got a main domain that's registered with GoDaddy for our church, then we have this 2nd domain that is used for an annual event. I'd like that second domain to point at the same site, then create script in the main page to direct it to the correct page. Does anyone know how to point a second domain at a Discound ASP.net site??


Thanks

 

Hi,
You can add the domains to GoDaddy then in your DASP Control Panel request to have those domains added as pointers.
https://my.discountasp.net/addons/dompointer.aspx
As an example, msftwise.com, msftwise.net and msftwise.org are all registered with GoDaddy.
DASP added msftwise.com as the root domain, then msftwise.org and msftwise.net as pointers.
When I need, for tests, I can use any of those via code and move incoming requests to any folders on that server.
Right now all three come to the root, but only one is the root domain, the others are pointers.
Salute,
Mark

 

Thank you sir. I got the Pointer setup and that works. I'm using a server.Transfer to send requestcotaining my 2nd domain to the correct page. It seems to work well.
