[Domains - Wanted]

I create the aliases, then update the (lets_encrypt) SSL using my hosting control panel

And for older geezers like me, who grew up with MS DOS's black screen and command line, so using SSH is not that scary...
https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...multiple-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04

You can do that on any VPS, hosted with any provider, not only DO (which I use only for their tutorials and do not recommend for anything else). Some commands may differ for other Linux flavors, but if you have a preference for something other than Ubuntu (covered by this tutorial), then you probably know your way around your preferred distro.

I'm close to hitting 3000 domains and a control freak to boot, so no choice really, but to set up my own Efty-like system... with stress on the word "-like" Mine is designed with outbound sales automation in mind plus developing domains into full fledged websites... I mean, why sell off assets that can bring you as much money as their sale, but every year, or in some cases, monthly!

Since it's not feasible to manually set up 3000 hosts or SSL certs, or renew them every 3 months, I'm playing with Ansible to run the whole thing for me automagically. But beware: once you get a taste of Ansible, out go all web control panels and you're on your way to officially becoming a... computer geek

I set the domains up as aliases...

Interesting, I haven't considered that one

This said, not sure how that would play with a custom multi-domain/website CMS app with a database backend, using hosts (domains) to determine what content to serve
Automating setting up Apache (or in my case, OpenBSD's httpd) hosts using Ansible is simple enough and surefire, meaning least chance of issues with SSL generation and CMS...

For a lightweight system, @mr-x's solution is simple and elegant

Sounds interesting, would love to watch a video series of your setup

 

[Domains - Wanted]

Sounds interesting, would love to watch a video series of your setup

It's work in progress, early stages yet, meaning I have most of the moving parts tested, but that's incomplete versions thereof, proof of concept really. Most importantly, need to get it all connected to play together. Biggest hurdle is: too many new ideas and tweaks that come to mind as I go along

 

[mr-x]

If you only have a few domains or need hosting let me know I'll set something up for you.

 

[mr-x]

Are you pointing your domains to your one host? Or do you have domain alias set up at your host? Thanks.

I set the domains up as aliases.

You could redirect domains but would need a .htaccess file. I didn't think of it but easy enough to do. ** Also, redirects could be a problem if a bad-person redirected names to your page.

I made this b/c SEDO parking doesn't handle .app domains correctly, thought someone else might have the same problem.

Very clean and nice design, thanks.

Setting up domain aliases do you need a hosting package with Let's encrypt SSL Certificates for multiple domains? Thanks.

How do you send multiple domains to this one landing page?

 

[mr-x]

@mr-x Thanks for this Awesome One Page Lander.

Can these be used for sub-pages.

like ex. domainbrand.com/nameofthedomain

Short answer: Yes. Would have to setup a .htacess file with a sitemap or better a simple PHP script.

 

[Zilla]

will test it later...thanks in advance...

 

[john888]

@mr-x : I tried you one page lander and worked great. But, no way to track which domain name is coming into your landing page with Analytics since all domain names open up your one landing page. I will stick with passing variables that way I can see the domain name in the url " /landing-page/?=domainname1.com "

 

[mr-x]

Thanks Lock !
There is also the file posted on this thread by @mr-x, it may works on WP using the good plugin ?

My page won't work with wordpress but a plugin would.

I'm busy for the next few weeks but have wanted to learn more about wordpress. I'll get back to you and if anyone is still interested in testing / giving feedback, we can work on writing a plugin.

 

[mr-x]

Many thanks for your answer @mr-x
As wordpress is used quite a bit on the web, I might not be the only one interested in such a plugin.

I've written plugins for wp before but never used it to build a website. Something I've been wanting to do so maybe this is the time.

How do you send multiple domains to this one landing page?

Use Permanent or Temporary Redirect to forward your other Domains to the one desired Domain

@mr-x any updates?

Hi everybody,

Thanks for this very interesting thread

I don't know if i am in the correct one to ask this question but it is the closest one that i have found regarding my question:

I have built a landing page using wordpress.
I am now searching how to code to have the domain typed displayed on the page.

I have already set up the dns for my domains, so now i am searching how to build code the page, like it happens when your domains are for sale on dan, afternic or sedo for example.

I am very grateful in advance if someone in the community could help me !

If you must use wordpress then find a domain theme lander try codecanyon

Many thanks for your answer @mr-x
As wordpress is used quite a bit on the web, I might not be the only one interested in such a plugin.

Thanks, I will check that. URL Parameters are not search engine friendly at all. I am not getting any keyword searches from Google and only direct from my domain names. Wordpress now comes with Gutenberg editor Block Builder which is very good with no bloated coding like the page builders. Someone could make money from developing a plugin. I am sure there is a great demand for this. Those wanting to set up their own should look into Google Cloud hosting since it is very fast and cheap if you have low band width. Youtube has examples of setting up your own instances.

I have some time, this is something I'm interested in. If you two are willing to help me define what is needed I'll start working on it in the evenings.

I'll host the project on github and make it available to anyone who wants to use it. Please include your ideas that don't fit int the list below in a separate post. If it's OK with you, we can discuss the entire project in public so others have a chance to contribute. Should be a blast.
--

1) What do you expect the plugin / website to do?

short description, one or two paragraphs
​

2) Requirements:

What are the minimum requirements for a working demo? Express each item in a single sentence, like A form to enter domain names, Send email
​

3) Three things you would love to have. Single sentence for each item.


--
Is this a simple landing page builder or a website for selling domains?

Are there any API's you want to integrate with?

There are a few websites that you can point your domains to and get a simple landing page but you can't collect stats. Would you prefer a self hosted solution or a hosted solution?

Peace!

@zeff Let me know if this is the correct flow:

Register domain, assign DNS and or IP address at registration ( this can automatic at enom ) and the domain is directed to our website.

The plugin checks the request, if it is not for our websites, domain,

1) If we know about this domain and have information like price, description, etc. we show it

2) Otherwise we just show a generic landing page with the domain name.

3) Do some record keeping ( data collected to be determined )

Technically the website needs a dedicated IP address, otherwise the webserver will show the first website using that IP, which could be anything, including a blank page.

Alternative to a dedicated IP would be detecting the domain from the URL. Every registrar has the ability forward traffic to a url, You would have to use http://example.com/newdomain.com or example.com/?domain=newdomain.com

Sound right?

Also, if someone points a domain at our website by accident or on purpose, it will get a landing page .

 

[mr-x]

I'm going to write a bare bones plugin to show a page with the name of a domain. I'll update when it's working.
