Best way to redirect domain to Facebook page?

[ZuraX]

I have a friend that has a small business. He has a facebook page and I found out he owns a domain for the business but has it set to GoDaddy's default page until he gets a site made.

I have a VPS I use to host sites on but just got tired of all the domain/site stuff. I keep the VPS because I know I will get back into it someday... shrug.

I would love to host his domain/site once made.. Right now I could set up a redirect of his domain to his facebook so he can have emails at the domain.

Whats the best way to do this with htaccess?

Also anyone know how to set up nameservers at GoDaddy? The instructions have to be easy because he has no idea on any of this stuff. I can make them on the VPS for his domain but I believe you need to register/set up/whatever them on the register right?


Thanks for any help!

Hi

Hello:

To redirect the website to a facebook page, kindly add this on the .htaccess file:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 302 / http://facebook.com/pagenamehere

For setting up, here's a link to GoDaddy's Help Article:
http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/664/setting-nameservers-for-your-domain-names

Let me know if you need more help with it.

Thanks!

But then he can not have emails at his domain....

if you only redirect a domain (usually you would also want to redirect www subdomain) and keep current MX records unchanged all your other subdomains and email routes will keep functioning as they are now.
for exampe, you could use gmail for your email accounts by setting up MX records and still have all requests to http://mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com going to facebook or wherever you want them to go by using Godaddy Forwarding facility
