I have to preface this post by telling everyone that I had a stroke. It is extremely frustrating for me that I have trouble understanding simple directions. I get confused easily so please be patient. My primary domain is, http://www.strokenet.info/. I have a folder in my ftp called, caregivermanual. I have handbook.htm located in that folder. My goal is to have http://www.strokecaregiver.org/handbook.htm setup so that it is a viable url. With my last Registrar, Invision, strokecaregiver.org was pointing to ns1.dnswebserver.net. It was a simple setup. I switched Registrar's to Godaddy last month, using Discountasp's DNS NS1.DISCOUNTASP.NET and now http://www.strokecaregiver.org/handbook.htm does not connect. I am totally confused! What do I do now?
You need to add strokecaregiver.org as a domain pointer. To add domain pointer service: - Log into the control panel at http://my.discountasp.net - Click "Order Add-ons" on the left hand side
Once I click on Add-ons, do I order a Root Domain Pointer? How do I make that folder, caregivermanual, to point to http://www.strokecaregiver.org?
domain pointer How do I make my ftp folder, caregivermanual, point to http://www.strokecaregiver.org? I know I click Order Add-ons but then do I order a Root Domain Pointer and point caregivermanual to http://www.strokecaregiver.org/?
Discountasp gave incorrect information Ray, why did you tell me to purchase an add-on from Discountasp? I told you I need to point to a folder in my ftp. I just read this information: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOT DOMAIN POINTERS: - The Root Domain Pointer addon has a one time setup fee of $15 per domain name. - This addon will point additional domain name(s) to the root of your primary hosted domain. - You can enable email aliases with Root Domain pointers. - We DO NOT point additional domains to subdirectories. What you told me is incorrect!
No, it's correct, but the information was not complete. You need to add the extra domain as a domain pointer first so that the DNS will resolve correctly and an IIS host header will be added. If you want the folder /caregivermanual to display http://www.strokecaregiver.org when accessing it, you're going to need to use the URL Rewrite module.
