I'm building a website for www.theschool.com with wordpress for a school (totally voluntarily, with no profit) but their server doesn't support the wordpress requirements. And I have access to the ftp but no way of hosting the domain somewhere else, since I won't have access to change the nameservers due to some buerocracy. So here is my problem: There's the domain www.theschool.com with a crappy hosting that has old php, no sql etc. I've set up the website on www.mydomain.com on Dreamhost shared hosting plan. Now what I need is: - How can I make people who visit theschool.com to see the content in mydomain.com. - How can I make people that google theschool and end up at mydomain.com but see the url as theschool.com ? I'd appreciate any help on this issue. Notes: I've already tried iframe but the double scrolling bar on long pages doesn't look any good, besides people end up at mydomain.com on google searches. I've tried making an .htaccess on mydomain.com but it is somehow problematic since Dreamhost plan is a shared hosting.
It's not ideal, put you can put an html file on the old server to automatically redirect people, using a meta tag - <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://mydomain.com/"> You can also hide the scrollbars in the iframe with css, by adding style="overflow: hidden;" However, I don't think there is a way to fully cloak the domain without access to the nameservers.
