Redirect URL

I set um a website http://freedomknights.no-ip.org/ i didnt edit anything yet doh.
I got a domain http://freedomknights.com but how to make domain work?
how do i redirect it from http://freedomknights.no-ip.org/ to http://freedomknights.com??
some one plz help.

 

Apparently, you've registered that domain name, but no DNS server points it to where your web documents reside. You'd need to take that up with your web hosting service.

 

um my pc is the webhost im using easyphp mysql to host it. if you go to freedomknights.no-ip.org you get a website.
what to do with the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://freedomknights.com"> after i put it between the tags where to put it?

 

I am assuming you mean:

1. Your website is hosted on a machine at your home.

2. You use no-ip's free service to direct traffic from the link http://freedomknights.no-ip.org/ to your home server.

If you want (need, actually) DNS (Domain Name Service) to direct traffic from the link http://freedomknights.com to your home server, you will need to talk to no-ip about their enhanced product that offers DNS. You cannot use the meta tag offered by kevmcq7 to do anything if what I am assuming is correct.

 

i dont have to use the no-ip thing i use it cuz i have a dynamic ip. i dont need to use the no-ip. i can get to the dite by using my ip address http://68.183.76.145/

 

The bottom line is you need DNS. Two computers somewhere on the net need to have a record that says that your domain name resides at a particular IP address-- whether it's dynamic or not-- if you want someone to be able to type just http://freedomknights.com into their browser and get to your site.

Think of all the computers on the net as telephones with unpublished telephone numbers. You need directory assistance to find any other computer you want to connect to-- that's what DNS is. You type a domain name into your browser, the request is sent to your ISP's DNS server, it matches the domain name to its IP address, relays it back to your browser, and then the connection is made. Right now, "directory assistance" doesn't have a listing for freedomknights.com.

The reason for two computers maintaining DNS records for every domain is the second acts as a backup in case the first is down.

 

how much is your domain costing? if it's less than 4.99 a month, stay. if not go to www.1and1.com. It has an awesome linux and windows pack for that price. 50GB and 2 FREE domain names. also comes with free software(u pay shipping fees). so i suggest that to make it SOOO much simpler.

p.s.- when i went to your page, it said something about "super user" creation. might wanna remove that...

 

Also 1 and 1 has DNS managment adn you can tell it to get it from your computer! so register your domain from 1and1 and then tell it to get the info from http://68.183.76.145/ and your set!

 

Obviously, like when a website or webpage is moved to another location and a small page with just the meta tag in it is left behind in the old to automatically redirect visitors to the new location.

 

My preference is using a .htaccess file (I use godaddy to buy my domains and they give me lots of hosting for free, which I only use for the 1 file) and using a Apache 301 redirect.

I have about 8 domains that all redirect to the same place.

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-old-domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your-old-domain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Redirect permanent / http://www.your-new-domain.com

Obviously putting your domains into the "your-old-domain" and "your-new-domain" fields

Sorry if I misread your question.
