Re: DNS Question

I would expect that if your host allows you to park the domain that its
not actually doing a 301, but just pointing the IP address at both sites
and letting apache handle the serving. The vhosts file will just make
both urls point to the same directory. Does the address in the bar change
when you go to one of the parked domains? If I go to my-company.com will
it then show mycompany.com in the address bar? Or does the address still
show my-company.com?

If your address doesn't change then you are "parking". If the address
changes then you are doing a 301 redirect.

Re: [WEB400] DNS Question






Many thanks to Scott and David for the excellent explanations.

From David's piece I now know that a CNAME wouldn't have worked - so
that is goodness - I don't want the server to have to know about the
domain.

From Scott I understand better how it hangs together.

Bryce - useful to know but not relevant right now. These are all
domain names centered around the "real" names I'm using to stop anyone
else from creating sites with similar names. For example I have some
where I own MyCompany.com but also have registered My-Company.com and
MyCompany.net to give a little more protection to the domain. If
anyone enters those URLs I want them to go to the main site.
