Let's say I have domain name greten.info... and there is a subfolder /nekoshop. Naturally, I can access it as greten.info/nekoshop.

 

What if I want to make it something like nekoshop.greten.info? I saw some websites can do this, especially those free accounts like geocities and multiply.

 

Thanks

If your hosting plan allows it, create a subdomain, and point it to the required folder on your server..

 

So you would create the sub-domain "nekoshop", and point it to the nekoshop folder on your server.

 

This would then create the nekoshop.greten.info address.

Yay! it works!

 

I created a subdomain neko.greten.info, and now it is automatically redirected to greten.info/nekoshop.

 

Now, I have two more questions:

1. When I typed neko.greten.info to my address bar and press enter, I was directed to greten.info/nekoshop. The actual address in the address bar changes to greten.info/nekoshop. What if I want it to remain as neko.greten.info
   
2. Google might index neko.greten.info and greten.info/nekoshop as multiple copies of the same site, hence it will suffer in terms of SEO due to duplicate content. How do I resolve this?
   

Thank you

I may be wrong, but I think you could use a 301 redirect for this.....

 

Similar to using it to remove the www from a URI.

 

Of course, I could be wrong....

OK, I'll try that one. Although sometimes I feel scared whenever I thinker the .htaccess, because it was already used to customize wordpress URLS.

 

Thanks a lot.
