We have this website which is hosted with BELL on their web servers lets say called ..... www.belongs2us.com. Long story.
This could be a silly question ..but I am going to ask it anyways ...
Is there a way when people hit www.belongs2us.com they are redirected to a a different website w/o BELLS intervention?
Advise Please.
Thank you
|
Sunny

| Host file or DNS setting if you are the DNS source for your domain. |

You can place the address that you want it to go to in the Local Host File of the PCs. I don't remember if you can do this via a Group Policy or not. If not a script should not be hard to find.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
192.10.1.106 www.belongs2us.com # website is hosted by BELL

The website is hosted by Bell... you've still got access to the content (html/php files) ?
'cause in that cas you could simply edit the index.html (or whatever startpage you have over there) and put the following inside the HEAD of the html page:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.newbelong2us.com/index.html">
Should do the trick and would also work for clients you don't have control over... |
Greetsz,

Thank you.
Everything is hosted by bell for the site in question. For sure, host file can help the internal users. And how would it be redirected for the internet users? |

Unless you have it on their local host file,,, I have no idea. Sorry...
I mean you would have to have Bell change their records. Other than that,,, I got nothing. |

In that case you're left with only one option... change the website registration (DNS) with your provider.
This would be a standard change for them.
If this is also managed by BELL, then you will depend on them to implement that change request. |
