My site jerlene.nocatch.net is still under that domain.
I want it under dnbanter.com
The nameservers got updated a long time ago but when I go to dnbanter.com it's just parked and say that the domain is hosted by NetWork Solutions(which it isn't).

How do I get jerlene.nocatch.net and dnbanter.com to go to the same pages?

You can do a .htaccess redirect if you have access to you hosting server:

There are different ways to do this, heres 1:

An .htaccess, is probably the most effective and simple method for creating a redirect. .htaccess files can be used to forward requests it to a new page you have specified, this is handy when page locations have moved, or you simply want to forward requests from one domain to another. Create a .htaccess file with the following line:

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html


Replace /olddirectory/oldfile.html with the full path of the file that has moved. The third field should be the full URL of where the file has moved to. You can also redirect an entire directory by simple using

Redirect /olddirectory http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/


To point an entire site to a different URL, such as domain.net redirected to domain.com, use the following in your .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 / http://point-to-new-site.com/

It's under a free host so .htaccess isn't enabled.

<script type="text/javascript">document.location.href='www.yournewsite.ca/index.html'</script>

you can add that to your index.html file for a redirect

Anywhere in the index file?

I think you need to specify it in the HEAD of the index file. This way, it worked fine for me! ;)

Ok, what exactly do I need to do? This coding crap confuses me.

make a index.html file in your old hosting root folder or edit the existing one.

you must insert this line


<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://yournewhostingurl.com">


inside the <head> tag


it will look like this

<html>
<head>
<title>YourSiteTitle</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://yournewhostingurl.com">
</head>
<body>
<!--body content here-->
</body>
</html>

hope it helps

Thanks a lot. I'll try this later on. Is this my last resort?

Jerlene, did you update your nameservers for that domain to point to:

ns1.nocatch.net
ns2.nocatch.net

?

It looks like you haven't done that yet

I have. That was the first thing I did. Just to double check, I had NameCheap check it out for me as well. Everything was fine.
