RussianQuestion
My host : 1and1.com
My setup : I have my main domain and a sub domain hosted on the Linux host.
What I need : Sub domain (currently on Linux host) should be pointed to that of a .Net site hosted on MS Business hosting on 1and1. What is the best way of achieving it?
What I did so far : Used Frame redirect (from Sub domain to .Net site) and my client is pissed that SEO will take a hit. And he is calling me a lousy programmer!
Suggestions, comments, solutions greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solution
What exactly is the problem`?
Domain X.com
Subdomain: Y.X.com
Point Y.X.com to the IP address of the windows host. Set up windows host to react to Y.X.com.
Finished.
Client should not call you a lousy programmer - but someone without a clue about how website technology works, internet wise. Note that this is different from Programming, it basically points to your administration skills (DNS, server setup etc.).
OTHER TIPS
I don't believe 1and1 prevent you from properly managing your DNS. This FAQ seems to indicate a fairly wide set of features that you'd expect from any hosting company, including being able to configure your sub-domain:
Select your domain by checking the box on the domain tab, then click on the DNS button.
Edit DNS settings
Name Server* : My Name Server and then enter in the information for:
Primary name server
Secondary name server
1st secondary name server
2nd secondary name server
3rd secondary name server
You should be able to do that no problem. Maybe it's the fact that IIS is involved with a Linux package? But that shouldn't make a difference at all. It's simply forwarding the DNS over to the next host.
I switched over to their Virtual Private Server because I can host multiple domains, full ASP.net control (ports, etc, no trust issues), and because I physically edit my SQL database rather than use their junk SQL web interface.
