URL or redirect

Ok Here is my scenario. I have two domains on two different hosts lets say domain1.com and domain2.org. I am developing a site for domain1.com but because of some script compatebility problems, I have not been able to run the site on the domain1.com server. Since it is a pretty time sensitive site, I decided that for the time being, I will put it on the domain3.org server in a folder say domain2.org/site and have a redirect page from domain1.com so that if they type in domain1.com, the will automatically see domain2.org/site.
Now my question is,...Is it possible to have the url after the redirect show up as domain1.com instead of domain2.org/site.
please help
Thanks

Mizzy,

wow! I've never heard of being at one url and having another show up in the main window, but with today's technology, I wouldn't be surprised if you could.

If I were you, I'd create a frame (I know, they stink) or something comparable that just references the other page. That way, your functionality's still there from both sites, and your url from the original one still shows up.

Or you could just go to a host that accomodates all (like mine Smiling

Good Luck.

Mizzy,
It IS possible to redirect one domain to a directory within an account... However, it is much easier to do if they're on the same server. My advice to you would be to move the domain to the second server, and ask that host to point domain1.org to a specific subdirectory within your site. They should know how to do this, as it's a fairly simple procedure -- and it will probably cost less than a seperate account.
