Hi all,
It is a kind of off topic, but I need one advice here.
This is the problem:
On webhost4life I have a sub-domain like 1.carmo.ws which gives this URL: HYPERLINK "http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page%22http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?ti... le=Main_Page. Note that the sub-domain remains in its place on the URL. If I use HYPERLINK "http://www.1.carmo.ws/%22www.1.carmo.ws, I get this HYPERLINK "http://www.1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page%22http://www.1.carmo.ws/inde... .php?title=Main_Page. So, that is perfect. If I have this situation on a Linux account I would be happy, because I would use .htaccess on the sub-domain address and all would be as I want.
I just bought one hosting plan on Godaddy.com. Linux account. .htaccess works fine, but… Godaddy treats my sub-domains in an odd way: if I type 1.carmo.ws I would get this URL: HYPERLINK "http://www.carmo.ws/1/index.php?title=Main_Page%22http://www.carmo.ws/1/inde... .php?title=Main_Page. Note that they changed my URL. I have no more my sub-domain in the address bar on my browser. For me, that is a redirection of my URL without my consent! And it is very odd too.
Maybe it is a question of some trick I might have to do with my DNS Record File configuration. Play with A records or Cnames. I don’t know.
Perhaps, some one here has a Linux account on Godaddy.com servers and can help me out?
Perhaps, I should pay more for a better service? I hope not!:)
Thanks again for all help, mauro.
