I have a website hosted by Yahoo at (lets say) www.abc.com. I have
another domain (lets say www.xyz.com) that I would like to direct to
abc.com, but I don't want to reveal the abc.com domain.
Using my DNS host at xyz.com, I set up an alias record (CNAME) which
states www.xyz.com is an alias to www.abc.com. However, when I type
www.xyz.com in my browser (with the intention of getting to the
www.abc.com site), Yahoo web server give me a page that says "Error
400 - Bad Request"
So I am wondering why that is? And how can I direct traffic from
xyz.com to abc.com without revealing the abc.com domain.
My DNS host offers a "web forwarding" service that uses frames that
will mask the abc.com domain, but anyone with even the most basic
knowledge will be able to determine the underlying domain.In response to jojo311-ga:
Yes, the Yahoo site does have an IP address associated with it (don't
all websites?). The IP address is something I discovered by doing a
traceroute on abc.com.
If I create a A record for xyz.com which points to the IP address, I
get the same page..."Error 400 - Bad Request"IN response to dotcommakers-ga:
In my original question, I stated:
"My DNS host offers a "web forwarding" service that uses frames that
will mask the abc.com domain, but anyone with even the most basic
knowledge will be able to determine the underlying domain."
Isn't there anyone out there who can address my question?!hi
you just want to redirect xyz.com to abc.com right? without revealing
abc.com right?
it can be done easily.. by a site who is providing dns services as you
told your hosting company has providing url forwarding service.. just
us "masked" service for this.. if you cant find any such good
service.. than i can give you an url.. which is I used for me.
regardsDoes your yahoo site have an IP address associated with it? Does your: name
www.abc.com point to an ip like 1.1.1.1? Why dont you just have
www.xyz.com point with an "A" record to 1.1.1.1 also? Is this an
option?I think the problem lies in the web server providing your page. It may
not know which page to address when it gets a request of www.xyz.com.
This is done (if they use Apache) by editing the VirtualHosts in
httpd.conf. Probably, it is only www.abc.com that's added and points
to your site.
If this is does not help, have you tried to nslookup (dig,host) your
domain to see if it really points to the right server?
