-Spazmatic- Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've always been slightly confused about this but I'll explain it the best I can.Say I currently have a hosting service that isn't fully used.I need to open a new site, but don't want to pay for more wasted space.I upload my new site (in /newsite/) to my server.I buy a domain name.I point the domain name http://www.newsitedomain.com to http://www.oldsite.com/newsite/index.htmlNow here's the question. When I go to http://www.newsitedomain.com, will it show in my address bar http://www.oldsite.com/newsite/index.html or http://www.newsitedomain.com/index.html?I'm pretty sure it'll show http://www.oldsite.com/newsite/index.html since the domain isn't pointing to the root of the server, but I'm not sure.

Bubba Bob Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) LoL!Major deja vu. I went through this a couple months back.Who is your host? Assuming they allow mulitple websites under one plan it'll be http://www.newsitedomain.com/index.html. Call your host to make sure you set it up correctly.

It was very easy to do. They walked me through it over the phone. Great customer service. On a side note, what is your website? Mine is VERY slow. My renewal is up at the end of the month so Im looking to go elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My renewal is up at the end of the month so Im looking to go elsewhere.My current website is http://www.trophyshoponline.com - it does get slow at times as well but I use a redirect script to redirect traffic from trophyshoponline.com to trophyshoponline.com/site/ so I was assuming that was it.Is yours a business site?

Bubba Bob Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Not a business site, but I still want it faster. heh According to DomainTools.com my site has 3500 sites on the same server, where as yours has 240. Howd you do that? What plan do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Spazmatic- Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Economy hosting - 1 year renewal with linux.Maybe tell them your site is slow and see if they can move it to another server? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

isteve Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Bubba Bob, I just went to your site it seem very fast, fully loaded in about second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Bubba Bob, I just went to your site it seem very fast, fully loaded in about second.Could you go to it again if you see this message (to rule out it being a fluke)? It loads in a minimum of 7 seconds for me. The server is much closer to you though...I called godaddy and their response was pay up for virtual dedicated hosting Edited July 18, 2008 by Bubba Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 It took about 5 seconds that time, maybe last time I already had it in cache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikex Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Bubba what are you using for the photo gallery. I have a client wanting to make a gallery on their site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Bubba what are you using for the photo gallery. I have a client wanting to make a gallery on their site.Mike - I'm using "RokZoom". It's an extension for Joomla created by Rocket Theme. It's not a complete photo gallery per say; just animates & enlarges the photo when you click on the thumbnail. Edited July 27, 2008 by Bubba Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
