I have one of those fancy domains that when you include the subdomain spell out a whole word.
For example: g.oog.le
I'm having a heck of a time getting the redirects to work properly.
I want http://www.oog.le and http://oog.le requests to redirect to http://g.oog.le
Can I accomplish this with DNS records? Or do I need to edit the Apache config for the site? Or .htaccess? I've tried cname, .htacess and nothing is working...
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
You can definitely use CNAME records to point out to the servers you intended to reach. But, DNS operation happens under the hood, and browser is abstracted from a DNS lookup. So browser keeps the hostname you entered in HOST HTTP header field, which is potentially considered as invalid by orginal servers. HTTP redirects is a clever option.
