How do I create a website that is just a link?

Question

For example: Lets say I own this website:

www.this-website-is-the-best-in-the-wo...

and instead of internet users typing in all that, I could create another website that when they typed in

www.TWITBITW.com OR www.TWIT.com, etc

it would bring them to

www.this-website-is-the-best-in-the-wo...

How do I do that?

Answer 1

It sounds like what you want to do is a form of url redirection, aka domain forwarding. You would need to purchase, following your example, www.TWITBITW.com and www.this-website-is-the-best-in-the-worl...

Depending on your domain name server you could either use a built-in setting to redirect (i.e. I believe GoDaddy lets you redirect by just entering in the address you want to direct to) or you can use a script so that whenever someone loads the short address, TWITBITW.com, the page will load and automatically redirect to the longer address. Depending on what type of script you use, there might be a brief period of delay while the page redirects itself.

If your site supports PHP the simplest redirect would be to have your index.html or index.php to simple contain

<?

Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );

Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );

?>
