"Proper" URL for addon domain

**njw** · 2011-04-12 05:15

I have an addon domain and when I go to it, I would like to hide the main domain in the address bar. For example, the main domain is main.co.uk; the addon domain is addon.co.uk; when I go to addon.co.uk, the address bar shows main.co.uk/addon.co.uk.

Is it possible to remove the main.co.uk via .htaccess? (I am sure I managed to do this in the past, but have just wasted a few hours unsuccessfully!).

Many thanks for any help

It sounds as though addon.co.uk is redirecting to a folder on main.co.uk. Instead, that folder should be the root of addon.co.uk. It seems most efficient to do this in your domains control panel, but you might be able to use url rewriting in .htaccess.

In Cpanel, addon.co.uk is the root, redirected to main.co.uk/addon.co.uk. Are you saying that the re-direct is not necessary?

Correct. No redirect should be needed.

Many thanks. I will discuss with my ISP who is doing the redirecting.

Who is providing your web server? The web server is required to provide the addon.co.uk site and name it correctly.

cheers, Paul
