How do I use my domain name to point to a url? eg mydoamin.com/xyz to xyz.com

[#1]

I want to use my own domain name to point to a url. For example, by typing mydomain.com/xyz, I would be redirected to xyz.com.

You could create a 301 redirect by adding the following to an .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /xyz http://xyz.com

After browsing to mydomain.com/xyz, the URL in the address bar would change to xyz.com. Not sure if that's what you're after or not?

Hi Bob,
Tnx for your reply.  I want anybody who types www.mydomain.com/xyz to be directed to www.xyz.com. ; I think this is called web forwarding. I want to know in details how this can be done using plusnet as they are maintaining my domain name.

Hi,
The 301 redirect Bob has provided should allow you to do this in the manner you're looking for. You'd need to create the .htaccess file and upload to your webspace with the relevant directory and domain names replaced.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply.  I am new to this.  Would you kindly provide step by step instructions for creating and editing the .htaccess file and uploading  to my webspace?

You need to create a file called '.htaccess' (minus quotes, and notice the '.' at the start') that contains the following (substituting the necessary with your own domain names):

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /xyz http://xyz.com

And then upload it to the /htdocs folder on your webspace.
It might help to create a text file containing the above, upload it, and then rename it to '.htaccess' once uploaded.
Also, make sure your FTP client is configured to show hidden files.
