Pointing domain to web space

Page 1 of 1

#1 by macbeth3

I own http://www.fergs.net and http://www.football-finances.org.uk

With the latter I also have hosting though you, the fergs.net is used for home email.

I would now like to point http://www.fergs.net to a page that lives at http://www.football-finances.org.uk/home

I can't work out how to do this. Ideally it would just point but there seems to be nowhere (that I can find) to do that.

This is a test run for something else I would like to do. I wish to purchase a new domain name and point it to my hosting package. It is simple to do this from my previous supplier 123-reg if you aren't able to do it, but really I'd like to manage everything from this here.

Thanks
Ian

In administer control panel point the A record of fergs.net to same as the A record of www.football-finances.org.uk and add fergs.net and www.fergs.net as an alias to the www.football-finances.org.uk

I have done this for you fergs.net should be pointing to www.football-finances.org.uk
in few hours time.

That's great but not quite what I was asking.

I want to be able to point a domain name, so in my test case http://www.fergs.net to a folder (subdomain?) ,so http://www.football-finances.org.uk/home not just to the top of the http://www.football-finances.org.uk web space.

Unfortunately there is no inbuilt function in the web builder to point a domain to particular page on the other domain.

Okay. I know I can do that on 123-reg, I'll just get the domain there.
