This is just a quick newbie question. I have my subdomain account here and want to purchase a domain name (ie: tim.com) and have it redirect to my subdomain. Another post says to just "direct your domain to your site", but I've always been confused on how domains work. Do I tell the website I buy the domain from to do this? Do I need a redirect page?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

You could set the domain name to forward to your subdomain through the control panel that your domain registrar uses. Who is your registrar?

Or... you could purchase a domain hosting package from us (prices vary) and this will replace your subdomain hosting.

One way that I directed my traffic when I got my new domain was the following meta tags, which will "AUTO" make your page reload. You don't need any writing on this page, just a blank page, with this code within in the "HEAD" and "/HEAD" tags.

Code:
<META HTTP-QUIV="REFRESH">

I'm surprised I remember this, It's been so long, so check up on this code, you may need some alteration. A simple search on google will bring up a good answer. Just want to point you in the right direct.

The reason it's better to have a redirect page, is because you don't need to go back to your domain control pannel and change it anymore, because once, you have your page local on your server, you're done!

Hope This Helps :) 8) :lol:

this is only for a redirect, so they will quickly be sent to your subdomain (i dont reccomend doing a redirect, just use a DNS)

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL='http://subdomain.pcplayground.com/'">

which is

the zero can be replaced with any number, it just says how many seconds to wait before it sends the person to the url. the URL (http://subdomain.pcplayground.com/) can be replaced with your real URL.
