Can you set adomain to a alias folder?

[RFH Reseller: dv8host]

Hi,

I need to set a domain (www.domainb.com) to alias a folder of another domain (www.domaina.com/folder). Is it possible to do this by changing the DNS settings of www.domainb.com? By adding a cname record maybe?

I know that this is probably not possible, but somebody that I know says that they have done it before using cpanel.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Chris,
This isnt accomplished using DNS (DNS handles domains and IPs, not folders and files) - but rather the webserver. Unfortunatly Helm doesn't provide this functionality, maybe CPanel does.

Your best bet is to simply redirect to the folder from the domain - is this plausible?

I'm having a smiliar problem, i moved my default site into a folder "fmu" inside wwwroot/

So now i want my domain to point to wwwroot/fmu/ rather than wwwroot/

Any ideas?

As answered via support ticket, the best way to achieve this is to use a redirect script in your website root, for example:

index.asp

<% 
Response.Redirect "http://www.mydomain.com/folder/"
%>
