redirecting based on web address

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 08.2003

Hello, I have two domain names, call them [url]www.a.com[/url] and [url]www.b.com,[/url] but only one web host. The web host says I cannot have the two names point to different areas on the server without some complicated billing thing that I don’t understand.

What I’d like to do is use javascript to redirect the user to a specific page depending on what address they are trying to reach.

For example:

[url]http://www.a.com[/url] would go to what is currently [url]www.a.com.[/url]

But if the user tried to go to
[url]http://www.b.com,[/url] the javascript would ideally rerout the user to [url]http://www.a.com/bpage.html[/url] instead of [url]http://www.a.com[/url] which is what it currently does.

Is this possible and reliable?

@Khalid_AliSep 08.2003 — I don't think JavaScript can do that,its the web server that you may need to configure for this or change a DNS entry in your domain name server......

if (window.location.href.indexOf("b.com") != -1)
{
location.replace("http://www.a.com/bpage.html")
}
else if (window.location.href.indexOf("c.com") != -1)
{
location.replace("http://www.a.com/cpage.html")
}
else
{
location.replace("http://www.a.com/badpage.html")
}
// -->
</script>

@LeeUJan 17.2008 — The only problem would be if the person doesn't have JS turned-on. Do you have access to your .htaccess file?

Success!
