Hi !!!
So, I finally did it, I bought two domain names at 1and1.
Maybe it wasn't the wisest decision, afterall...
To make it quick, my host doesn't provide DNS redirection (it's a free host, and they have several webspaces on each server, so that's why... But, I'm not going to change host, I couldn't dream of a better host. 3 years with them, and never got any problem).
I don't want one of those silly frame redirection, so I decided to put my index page on the little webspace 1and1 provides with the domain name.
For the first domain, it was easy and working really quickly.
With the second domain, I had problems right from the start. Besides the fact that it finally activated 24h after the first one while I made them both at the same time, it started displaying strange chinese characters instead of my index page, and then, finally, it was doing fine.
Then, the next day, I have a look at it, and what do I see ? Frame redirection. Back to the settings I tried in the first hours after the activation. My dear index.html file was nowhere to be seen (yeah, and this dumb webspace doesn't recognise php files... hence the html).
I had a look at the webspace with the ftp, and here it was, all quiet in a corner, my little index.html page.
But, it I type : mydomainname.com/index.html, it's like : file not found, and of course it's not found, cause this stupid domain points to my host. Re-di-rec-tion. Yes.
I have a look at the admin panel : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.lesenfantsdelo.com">http://www.lesenfantsdelo.com</a><!-- m --> is directed to webspace.
Everything should be fine.
I try reuploading the file... I try setting it to redirection, then back to webspace. I try redirecting it to itself...
Nothing works.
This domain is stuck with the redirection. No way I can get rid of it.
And just when I had finally decided to submit my site to 15 search engines where it's written black on white : you cannot submit a site which use redirection... I'm doomed.
Any idea ?
Somebody got the same problem here ?
Thanks for your suggestions...
