Question

I have 2 different urls: mywebsite.com and myotherdomain.com

mywebsite.com is the default URL that goes to my site’s homepage. When someone types myotherdomain.com, I’d like it to go to mywebsite.com/other

Is this possible using .htaccess?

Answer 1

On myotherdomain.com you can use these directives:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mywebsite.com/other/$1

This will also append what follows the domain name to /other/, e.g.

myotherdomain.com/mypath/page

will be rewritten to

http://mywebsite.com/other/mypath/page

By the way, these Apache docs can be helpful.
