Redirect domains single pages and maintain url

Redirect domains single pages and maintain url - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection. This issue means that the page does not exist on a permanent or temporary basis. It appears on most of the popular web browsers, usually caused by a misconfigured website. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the Redirect domains single pages and maintain url error on your web browser. Problem :


I have several domain names that need to point to individual pages on a single host and still maintain the URL. For example:



examplesite1.com needs to point at mainsite.com/examplesite1.php but still display examplesite1.com



examplesite2.com needs to point at mainsite.com/examplesite2.php but still display examplesite2.com



The host doesn't allow parked domains and has very limited add-on domains, so it seems my only way of linking the domains is via web forwarding. I can get the forwarding to arrive at the correct pages, but I don't seem to have any control over it with .htaccess and therefore the actual URL displays - presumably because the redirect happens prior to arriving at the host.



Is there any way around this? I'd rather not use the registrar's cloaking or use frames if I can avoid it.



Edit: Requested info



I have tried to implement this, examplesite1.com is set to forward to mainsite.com



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %HTTP_HOST ^(www.)?examplesite1.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mainsite.com/examplesite1.php [R=301,L]


I've also tried several variations of similar .htaccess rules but nothing has any effect at all.



I have tried doing this with the 1 add-on domain that I'm allowed, adding examplesite1.com as an add-on domain. This results in the correct page loading, but it displays the 'actual' url


Solution :

If the URL changes then it's a redirect if doesn't then its not a redirect... there's no workaround. You don't want a redirect method as it won't work.



Theses are just some methods that will work:





I'm not going to explain every method since you can find all this info on stack overflow.



Shared Hosting



This is the easiest method.



Lets say you have:




  • Mainsite = var/www/




    • SiteA = var/www/siteA

    • SiteB = var/www/siteB




      1. Make a index.php file in SiteA with <?php include 'var/www/examplesite1.php';

      2. Make another file in SiteB with <?php include 'var/www/examplesite2.php';
