dnsslash

Get rid the slash in URL (ex. something.com/dogs)

I recently purchased the domain name simply.do. I want to use it as a URL shortening service, but I don't like have to do simply.do/something. Can I remove the slash or replace it with a difference symbol?

If this helps, I am using a server running Nginx and I will not switch to Apache.

Thanks!

I would also appreciate any feedback on the domain name. I was hoping to sell simply.do/insurance, simply.do/religion, etc. to various companies. Do you think there is a way I could sell these parts on an auction website? Thanks!

Solution

  • You need to know how the HTTP protocol works here, to better understand what you are doing. If you want to sell the URLs, you need a basic URI handler for /insurance, or /religion. You can also sell insurance.simply.do, If you want to, thru' DNSes and default VirtualHost handlers.

    This answer is irrespective of the server used.
