Hi everybody. Let me explain the situation and see if someone can help me with this.
I have a domain regged at Godaddy. I recently joined an affiliate program where you can have your own (gambling related) co-branded website. So my domain.com (after creating logos, selecting colors etc.) is now a casino website and I will get commisions form players that sign up from my website.
So far so good, but...
The affiliate company gave me their nameservers to point my domain to, something that I did from the Godaddy control panel. But the problem now is that I cannot control my domain.com anymore (e.g. I cannot receive emails) and when I asked the affiliate company to make the appropriate changes (something related with mx or a records) they told me this is difficult since they have so many domains there and other excuses.
Anyway, I decided to host only the first page of my co-branded website (just the start page) to a webhosting provider (in order to be able to receive email, see traffic logs etc.) and when surfers press the "enter" button on that page to be redirected to the co-branded website (that is hosted for free by the affiliate company). The problem however is that I don't know how to do this...
Do I have to simply create a link? E.g. when surfers press the "enter website" button to be forwarded to the hosted co-branded website (but is this good for search engines?) Also is there any way my URL to stay all the time in the address bar?
Do I have to create a subdomain (cname, or it's not the same?) And again is this a good solution for search engines?
What should I do? or better how can I do this?
Thank you very much for your help and ideas in advance! :tu:
