Multiple domain names

Can you have multiple domain names for your website? I
thought that you could, but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do
this. I'm using a host that has both of my domain names, and they
use the same login and password. I wonder if this is the problem?
My second domain name has it's own manage site folder in
Dreamweaver, but it brings up the information from my first site
(same login and password).
Any help here? Thank you.

> but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do this
You don't. You ask your host to set an alias for alternate
domain names.
For example, my domain,
http://www.great-web-sights.com
also has this domain
set as an alias -
http://www.great-web-sites.com.
As another example, this
client's domain -
http://www.squarewheelindustries.com
- also has this
domain as an alias -
http://www.trailertester.com.

How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

hello,
I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
So, I have two main questions:
1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

thank you for your reply.
> You can create each site as a new Site in Server
Admin. When you do this you can choose any
directory on disk as the document root for each
site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
/Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
create /Library/WebServer/site1,
/Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
/Library/WebServer if you want).
so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
and another to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
> Each site should have the domain name set as per your
registered domains. Apache will need this to
determine the correct site to serve for each
request.
Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
>
I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
Without that piece of information it's impossible to
tell you whether you should continue using them or
not - in general there's no need to use URL
forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
different.
I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

Using Multiple Domain Names to Access Our Portal

We operate one domain corp.company.com but all internal intranet web servers get assigned the address inside.ZZZ. The inside.ZZZ is on our IE exclusion list but company.com is not. Adding company.com seems to be a miserable task so we are looking at adding an alias so our users can access the server at the new inside.ZZZ url. We have DNS pointing the URL to the right server and that seems to be working properly.
Something within the application is redirecting the page to gnwhepdev.corp. company .com (our servers domain address) after the initial login. Since *.corp. company .com is not in the exclusion list, it is considered an outside address and rerouted. We are trying to find some way to pass the alias within the application itself so that we dont need *.corp. company .com in the exclusion list and we can point users to the inside.ZZZ url.
Our team researched this issue and found documentation that supported the use of multiple domain names to access a Enterprise Portal. The documentation that we found is below:
How ToConfigure the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptor (Version 1.00 July 2004)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
Particularly on page 13-15 in the documentation it talks about enabling the portal via multiple domain names (Section 3.7: Using Multiple Domain Names to Access the Portal). Also, the documentation says the following:
You must have sever proxy servers, each with a different domain name. You then activate the filter mechanism and configure it to work with several proxy servers
We have several questions about the possiblities of being able to set this up and whether it would require another server where Web Dispatcher would need to be installed for this configuration to work properly. Can someone please provide some insight into what needs to be configured and answer the question about the Web Dispatcher? Also, if Web Dispatcher is required, what steps need to be done to configure? If Web Dispatcher is not needed, what will we need to do apart from that to set this up for our Enterprise Portal system?

It is but you have to use masking......

Same IP address and multiple domain names

Hi all,
Is it possible to have multiple domain names sharing the same IP address? For example, I want www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com, and www.mydomain3.com to share the same IP. Thanks.
Mike Lam

Thanks JavaApplet,
but I'm still having the same problem,
I have typed
in both server.xml and apps-abc.xml and apps-123.xml:
In server.xml:
<Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
<Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
So in apps-abc.xml:
<Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
So in apps-123.xml:
<Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
but how come, the www.123.com.sg still doesn't work, it kept displaying the page cannot be found. It's very funny because if I typed www.abc.com/123/index.jsp, surprisingly the page can be displayed.
This is a very tough problem for me and I have spent a long time troubleshooting this problem.
Hope that some advice can be given ... thank a million

Can you host multiple domain names on mobile me with iWeb '09?

Hi
Can anyone help, before I upgrade to iLife '09, I have a personal web domain name which I host on my mobileme account. My girlfriend now wants a website and I have bought her a domain name and want to use iWeb to design it but I can't seem to host multiple domains on iWeb '08, can you with iLife '09? Or will she have to buy her own mobile me account? Any help will be great!!!
Thanks

MobileMe -MME -is Apple's hosting service.
Domain Name System - DNS translates an understandable address like www.mywebsite.com into the IP address which is a number like 40:75:92:301.
Cname is a name of record in a database that records what domain name goes to what IP address.
IP address is just a unique number that identifies any device connected to the internet.
An FTP client is an application the uploads your files to a server using File Transfer Protocol.
I mainly use Web Site Maestro because it doesn't just upload the files but optimizes them first to remove all the unnecessary code that iWeb creates to allow your website to download at least 30% faster.
I also use Yummy FTP for sorting out and keeping track of my files on the server and uploading folders of images and music files along with their assets for flash presentations.
I have used Host Excellence for years because of the way they allow you to name your own root folder on the server and also their great tech support.
FTP and servers can be a bit confusing but, if you have a good hosting company, you can get by on very little knowledge and understanding. I do!
I couldn't agree more with you about the acronyms and jargon. The more people use them usually means the less they know. One of the most misused words is "domain". I tried to sort that one out here...

Multiple domain names for iWeb on .mac account

I've managed to get the iWeb site I created uploaded onto a domain name i created (eg www.abc123.com). I had to change the domain name on my .mac account. The thing is it only allows you to enter 1 domain name. Now I have purchased 3 domain names, one for myself, one for my business and one for my mothers business. Is there a way round this because at the moment I can't get round it. Thanks.

Hi Ben,
If using .Mac hosting and other hostings as well you can have multiple domains pointed to different sites so that each site will have yourdomain.com. However on .Mac you can have only one CNAME, the other personal domains should be WebForward or WebForward with cloaking.
- WebForward: after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
- WebForward with Cloaking (also called masking): after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser yourdomain.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
- CNAME yourdomain.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like yourdomain.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html
If you're using Godaddy this is how to setup WebForwarding
http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?articleid=422&topicid=
and this is masking/cloaking

Serving MULTIPLE Domain Names on 1 Web Server

How can I host DIFFERENT domain names on the same OSX Tiger Server? I've looked everywhere, but I can't seem to figure it out. My Web server is currently hosting one domain name just fine.
DNS INFO:
The new Domain Names are already purchased & registered, and my ISP is taking care of DNS, pointing all of the domain names to my Tiger web server.
IN SERVER ADMIN >> WEB Services > Settings Button > Sites Tab, I've configured the Domain Names as follows:
Domain Name = domainnamehere.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder =
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder1/HTML here
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder2/HTML here
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder3/HTML here
Default index files = index.html
The Enable box is checked
PROBLEM:
When I go to any of the new domain names they all open up the MAIN website NOT their own individual web page.
QUESTION:
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to host DIFFERENT Domain Names PUBLICLY on the same OSX Tiger Server? I've seen information on setting up "Virtual Hosts" for local web development, but I can't seem to figure out how to host DIFFERENT Domain Names PUBLICLY on the same OSX Tiger Server.
Thanks for your help!
Computerpros

The description of you setup sounds wrong.
You should have multiple Sites configured, one per hostname you're trying to run, like:
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain1.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder1
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain2.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder2
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain3.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder3

Multiple domains names and web sites with only one SLS and one static IP

I tried to find a post on this topic but I still can't find what needs to be done.
SLS is configured for one domain with one web site and it's working well. We will call it domain1.com. Here is the config:
Static IP: 69.x.x.x
DNS setting under Server Admin:
hostname: server.domain1.com
Two DNS entries under domain1.com with:
www - alias - server.domain1.com
server - Machine - 10.0.1.x (fixe IP for server on LAN)
Web settings under Server Admin:
server.domain1.com - 10.0.1.x - Port 80
Domain1.com is managed with DynDNS Custom DNS Service with 1 record:
domain1.com - A-record - 69.x.x.x
I want to host a second domain (for a website) called domain2.com. It's also registred at DynDNS and I have custom DNS setting to configure.
What's need to be done to have both domains with seperate web site on SLS under DNS and Web settings (beside the fact that I will have 2 different folders with the website files in it). I understand that I will need a new entry in the DNS for the new domain (domain2.com) and also an entry in the Web Service pane. But what are the details.
Thanks.

When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
Am I way off?
All help gratefully received,

Dealer portal system SSL setting with multiple domain name

Hi gurus
I have a Dealer portal system.(It is java java stack system just like EP)
SSL certificate will expire in few days and I', planningl renew it soon.(in visual administrator key storage then send it to appropriate CA)
Currently DP is used only by A branch. However B branch is planning to use
the same DP system soon.
Two branches has different domain name such as
Abranch.dealer-portal-ap.net
Bbranch.dealer-portal-ap.net
The contents that each branch see will be distinguished by source code.
My question is
1) can I create a public private key pair in visual administrator with
CN = *.dealer-portal-ap.net?(Can I use * character)
2) If not, what should I do in this situation
thanks in advance

By the way there is only one server.
2 domain names are registered for 1 DP server

Coldfusion webroot and multiple domain names

Hi All -
I am new to this multiple domain thing. Am working on a project, where there multiple domain projects under on webroot. Like www.abc.com, www.def.com under one root. The folder structure is something like below:
E:
webroot
    --INCLUDES
    --IMAGES
      --image.gif
      -- www.abc.com
         --folder1
           --index.cfm
      -- www.def.com
So the above two diff domains share two common folders. When I use an include file of form .cfm, I can get it to work. But somehow the images are not displayed. I tried the following syntaxes
Suppose I want to access images from index.cfm under www.abc.com/folder1, i tried the following:
<img src="../../IMAGES/image.gif">(does not work)
<img src="E:/webroot/IMAGES/image.gif) (also does not work. The image symbol is shown but the entire image is not shown).
Any thoughts on how to get this working?

It's probably important to shift your thinking a bit here. Theer are two different "roots" here (well: three, if you're looking at a default IIS install):
* CF root;
* web site root;
* a directory called wwwroot
Looking at your example:
webroot    --INCLUDES
    --IMAGES
      --image.gif
      -- www.abc.com
         --folder1
           --index.cfm
      -- www.def.com
webroot (which I am guessing is your C:\inetpub\wwwroot dir) in this case is not your "web root", it's your CF root, by the looks of it. And the directories www.abc.com and www.def.com are your web roots for those two sites.
Confusion often arises here because when one configures CF, the CF root is often mapped to C:\inetpub\wwwroot (or the htdocs dir or whatever the web root is of the web server's default site), so it seems like there's just the one "web root". But there isn't.
So CF will look for resources in the CF root; the web server will look for resources in the web root of the site being served.
In your example, the websites cannot access IMAGES, because that directory is not in the web root of the site. As someone else has suggested, you need to add a virtual directory within the website to map to the IMAGES dir.
You cannot use .. notation to navigate up the file system to "above" the web root, because as far as the web site is concerned, the www.abc.com dir is the ROOT directory. IE: that's as far up the file system the site can access.
The reason why you E:\[etc] path does not work is because that path is requested by the web browser, which is going to be on a completely different computer to where the E: drive is. The path needs to be a URL.

Multiple domains pointing to 1 site

Hi..
If I add multiple domain names to a BC site, just using the "New Domain", does the system handle it in such a way that its not regarded as duplicate content? There is 1 default domain, so how are the rest of the domains treated if added, ie does it use 301 redirects so as to avoid the possibility being penalized by Google?
If this is not the way to do it, can anyone explain how to deal with this, as there is nothing in the knowledge base on how to go about it.....

Hi Liam,
Couple of things...
"You have google indexing multiple domains. If those domains contain the same content - Duplicate Content."
That's clear - thanks.
"You say 301 redirects so I am gathering there are multiple domains to point to one set of content. "
Yes, the client has bought a few different domain names, all which they want pointing to the same website. (Bad practice huh?)
"Was it an attempt to improve SEO"
Yes, seems everyone is a self professed SEO expert these days!
Anyway, what is the best/simplest way to deal with this type of thing?

Multiple domains via DHCP (option 15)

It seems Mac OS X (I use 10.4.10 but I suspect it affects many versions) is incompatible with receiving multiple domain names in a single string over DHCP Option 15.
If DHCP returns Option 15 with "exampledomain.com eng.exampledomain.com", then any lookup (using dig, ping, Microsoft Entourage, etc.) of a non-fully qualified domain name will fail.
You can see this in the /etc/resolv.conf file, which contains:
domain exampledomain.com eng.exampledomain.com
nameserver 10.X.X.1
nameserver 10.X.X.2
I know that putting multiple domains within the same "domain" option in DHCP is a proprietary hack but some networks still use this. Has anybody run into this and have they found a good resolution to make Mac OS X work with multiple domains?

While a single mailbox can be configured to receive on multiple addresses (called "proxy addresses" or "aliases"), the mailbox is configured with only one primary SMTP address (outbound address). So if your requirement is to send
as the received address, you would not be able to do that with a single mailbox through normal means.
Some people have developed a workaround to the above limitation by configuring Outlook to use multiple POP3 accounts for a single mailbox. See this link for additional details:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/hot/archive/2012/04/26/how-to-add-an-alias-to-an-office-365-account-and-how-to-set-up-outlook-to-send-email-messages-as-this-alias.aspx
I would also be sure to look at the client requirements for Exchange Online. The supported version of Outlook is going to be Outlook 2010 SP2. Older versions may work but would not be supported. Outlook 2003 would at best possibly
connect via POP3.

Multiple Sites, Multiple Domains, one .mac account?

So, is this possible? Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each? I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
Thanks!!

So, is this possible?
No.
Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each?
Yes and no. While .Mac does offer Domain name hosting in the form of a CNAME alias, only one Domain name is available per .Mac account. .Mac is not a registrar for multiple Domains. You can host multiple sites on your .Mac account, but if you desire a 'Domain name' for each site, you will need to purchase the Domains from a registrar like Yahoo, GoDaddy, 1&1, etc, and then forward these Domains to the appropriate sites, hosted on your .Mac account.
I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
The "workaround" would be to utilize Domain forwarding from a Domain name registrar, using the .Mac urls for the forwarding address(es).

Domain Name already exists

When trying to add the domain name *mcpctv.com* so I can launch my website as CCF Consulting for the register, in Business Catalyst, this happens ***error: domain name already exists, please delete any records of previous domain.*** There are no other records...... So how can I put in the Domain name so I can luanch my website?

hi Guys,
need to create a mailbox for a tennant "service" but get this error
This display name already exists. Please use a different display name
any idea ?
We have come across the same issue with the Service@ email account under tennant mode.and we've tried it under multiple domain names that we host..with the same resulting "display name already exists" error.
The Suggestions above by Fiona do not work, and yield :
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-user -id service |FL
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'service' couldn't be found on '<AD Domain Controller>'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Mailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FC39465B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.GetMailbox
Yet... if we create another user and add Service@ as an alias it works .. we just cant create it as a primary user name.

Webvpn GW's on one router with domain names

Hi,
I'm trying to configure multiple WebVPN gateways on one router using one front door VRF and multiple back door VRF's. Think of this like a cloud service provider with several customers using different VRFs and one Internet VRF used for the incoming connections for the remote users.
Doing so, several scenarios arise:
Using one gateway and several context with a seperate VRF for each.
Please let me know if I am wrong here:
I can only assign one trustpoint because I only have one gateway. This means that all users connecting can only use one domain name like "*.isp.com". This also implies the use of a wildcard certificate.
Using several gateways and several context with a seperate VRF for each.
I can only assign multiple trustpoints because I only have one gateway. This means that users connecting can use multiple domains name like "webvpn.clientA.com" and "webvpn.clientB.com".
I would prefer the first situation but then I run into a second problem:
There are several commands related to hostname and up till now I have not figured out which one does exactly what:
ROUTER(config)#webvpn gateway WEB_GW
ROUTER(config-webvpn-gateway)#hostname
ROUTER(config)#webvpn context CUST1_CT
ROUTER(config-webvpn-context)#gateway WEB_GW domain
ROUTER(config-webvpn-context)#gateway WEB_GW virtual-host
Is there anyone who can explain to me what exactly does what?
My personal guest is that I only need to configure the virtual-host like this" CUST1_CT -> virtual-host cust1.isp.com and CUST2_CT -> virtual-host cust2.isp.com". But I'm not sure about this and up till now I have not found any documentation that describes this very clearly.

I think for this to work correctly and be able to split traffic between the 2 ISPs, you would need to use BGP, because default is going to use one ISP or the other.
If you can use BGP, this link will help you in load shearing between multiple ISPs when you have one router.
