Q:
How to forward a hosted website
We host several sites for clients and some of these clients we also provide internet access to...WE give them a range of IP addresses.

I am fairly new to Linux and I don't quite see how this is all being done. Here is the problem I am faced with. The site in question has a website that is hosted on a machine located on their site instead of here. They are getting ready to go to another hosted solution that will have a different URL entirely. However, they want to leave a forwarder from the current site.
I was told that this was controlled by our main Redhat server somehow. In other words, our webserver has forwarded to their ip address/website.

Can I place a forwarder on our main web server to the new site for them?

Website forwarding for long addresses can be done in javascript.

Google around for javascript forwarding tips.


Hope this helps!

So if I understand this correctly, they are migrating websites and they want the original domain to forward to the new domain.

It sounds like they need to set a redirector in their default page to redirect to the other domain.
