Hi,
Just thought I'd start a thread on Hosting Tips & Tricks. I suppose many of you will have some good idea's/tricks you've learnt with particular hosting providers and/or services.
I thought it would be good for individuals to be able to post 'tricks' they've come across - and share them in the community.
... Here's a quick one ...
Redirection.net customers (www.redirection.net) will notice they can't access subdirectories of their site DUE to the HTML frameset established by the 'forwarding' ...
For example - http://www.d3vglobal.com is accessible but within the folder I have the d3vglobal site in - there is another folder called 'downloads' - on a normal webhost you'd be able to type http://www.d3vglobal.com/downloads - BUT not on Redirection.net.
This is due to / looking at the local page and tagging it onto the extended url. In this case...
http://www.d3vglobal.com goes to http://www.genesisblue.com/~moz/d3vglobal ... typing http://www.d3vglobal.com/downloads attempts to go to http://www.genesisblue.com/~moz/d3vglobaldownloads ... Its something to do with they're forwarding system ... not sure what.
SO TO FIX... just type http://www.d3vglobal.com//downloads (with two slashes (/'s) which then redirects to http://www.genesisblue.com/~moz/d3vglobal/downloads
WHATS IT GOOD FOR... well, I use it when I'd rather give someone the URL of a subfolder using my redirected domain... its obvious that http://www.d3vglobal.com//downloads is shorter than http://www.genesisblue.com/~moz/d3vglobal/downloads
... Does anyone else have something of interest?
