Domain parked 404 page redirect help

neoone · 02-19-2005, 07:08 AM

Hi,
I have 2 domains
e.g. www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.biz
and I have the www.mydomain.biz parked on www.mydomain.com
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-hosting-discussion/70944-domain-parked-404-page-redirect-help.html
I have 404 redirect pages on www.mydomain.com but how do i get it to work for www.mydomain.biz?

this is the code i have used on the dotcom domain.

<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;URL=http://www.mydomain.com">
</HEAD>

Thank you for visiting mydomain.Com
 
This page no longer exsists, please visit out homepage and tell us what you would like to see on our homepage.
 
Thank you

 Please Wait while we forward you there..........
If this does not work for any reason use the link below:
<A HREF="index.htm">http://www.mydomain.com</A>



Is the above code okay or is something wrong with it.

thanks

does something need to go in the htaccess file?

thanks

If the biz domain is parked on the com, the same 404 page will display.
If you want to use the full relative URL for each domain, use something like
 in your 404 page.

You also need to add a line to .htaccess file
something like:

ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html

Thanks for your reply.
I am adding the 404 code in the cpanel in the 404 page bit but it isn't appearing. I have been told by the host the IE has a requirement for the page to be bigger then 15KB?

IS that true?

thanks

Add this to your .htaccess

ErrorDocument 404 http://yourdomainname.ext

It will work for all names parked.

Example:

www.615.biz/asddg
www.nashvilletennessee.net/dfgth

If you do the above there's no need for a 404 page since noone will ever see it. But otherwise yes there is a file size limit from what I remember but I've been doing the above for several years now. Before I learned the above I always just put my index.html code in the 404.html

thanks, it works great

nice one

Also i wanted to know is there a way to use the same thing for a 509 error bandwidth exceeded?

thank you

If you exceed your bandwidth thats a error document setup via your host generally. I would assume there's no way around that one considering you are exceeding your alotment so your account is actually in suspension status.
