I have a question about redirecting domain methods. I want to use something very simple, to accomplish a simple task.

The task -
My website, for example, is www.mysite.com, and I would like to have my customers choose a domain name for their business, and then have their domain redirect to my site.
So if they had www.theirsite.com, I would want it to go to my site at, for example, www.mysite.com/customers/index.jsp

What is the easiest way to go about doing that? I recently bought an additional domain to test this all out. I'm in testing phase on my website.

I did some googling on this topic, and I have found the following options:
mod_rewrite (module)
mod_alias (module)
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;URL=www.mysite.com/customers/index.jsp">

I like the 3rd option because it is the simplest. But the problem with the meta-http refresh is that it has been acting in this way - I access www.theirsite.com and it redirects to http://www.theirsite.com/www.mysite.com/customers/index.jsp
Why is it appending the url to the current one like that???

Have you tried putting the entire url in the Meta tag, including the http://?

Normally it is done by url-cloaking using a frameset, so the top-level frameset is in the domain that appears within the address bar, and the one frame loads a site from actual source. For example (this would go in the index page for a cloaking domain):

<frameset><frame src="http://www.mysite.com/customers/index.jsp"></frameset>

Remark: All modern browsers use and support framesets today.

I dont think he is looking for cloaking. He wants the final url in the browser to be the redirected site.

Thank you! That did the trick:) It works as it should now. I'm so glad.

That is an excellent option as well! Thank you:)

Hmmm, well, cloaking the site could be an option for me. I guess I'll have to give both options some additional thought.

Thank you both again for the timely responses and solutions, much appreciated.
