We meant to ask this question last night, but neither Paul, nor myself
remembered it.
We are currently going through a rebranding exercise at work and at the same
time moving chunks of our website from a hosted service to a local webserver.
However, we only have one IP address for that server.
Paul has purchased the domain names and dealt with the DNS side of things. As
it stands all of our web addresses point to the same IP address, which
contains the core information at the top level. However, we have several sub-
domains which we would like to have automatically redirected when visitors
arrive, but we can't quite decide the best way to do it. In summary we have:
Our IP Address: -> Web address 1 -> Top level content
-> Web address 2 -> /sub-directory
-> Sub-domain 1
etc.
We had this once before and used some kind of code in the header of Index.
html at the top level to do the redirection, but we know that there are other
ways to do it, such as Apache config, Javascript and so on.
We would prefer to use the code in Index.html, but the original code got
washed out with the bathwater several rebrandings ago. We're not keen on
Javascript, because of the number of people who now browse with some kind of
Noscript set (as I do).
Does anyone have any comments on the pros and cons of the various techniques
and perhaps give us some pointers?
