Hello my Oga's here...

I have a little challenge...

I created a website for a client on a domain: www.sample.com - hosted and working perfectly fine...

Now, the client has another domain: www.sample2.com. He contacted me that I should redirect the first domain: www.sample.com to a subdomain on the second domain: www.sub.sample2.com.

Managing a domain redirect is not my problem. The problem here is that the files will still be maintained on the server hosting the www.sample.com while the subdomain: www.sub.sample2.com will only be the accessible url.

For instance: when you create a blog with blogger.com and then upgrade it to a tld while still maintaning using the blogger platform... Your files and contents are hosted on blogger while you still use a top-level-domain...

So, I need someone who can explain to me how I will handle it.

Thanks.

what needs be done is that, you just move all the files in the main domain to the sub domain and do the redirect.

you can MOVE the files from www.domainname.com to www.sub.domainname.com

and do the redirect.

i hope this is clear and helps.

you can contact me with the details below:

Thanks @dwebdseign. I understand fully what you posted. But I am sorry to say, that is not actually what I want... I can do that pretty well... However, I've found some alternatives.
Thanks once again.

good to hear.

happy coding!

that should be easy all you need do is do a permanent redirect of the subdomain to the already existing domain so that once someone types the su bdomain url it automatically goes to the already existing url where the file exists and fetch. you would need to have access to the subdomain admin area to do this under url redirect.
