Adding extra domains to a licence?

[isdoo]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to add extra domain names to a licence?

 

Whilst the path stays the same, is it possible to add extra domains to the licence?

 

We have a few extra domains mapped to our main domain (miss-spellings etc.)

 

As a result....

 

domain.com/clients works

 

but

 

doman.com/clients

domain.co.uk/clients

domin.com/clients

 

all fail with a licence error, due to only domain.com being in the licence.

 

Thanks.

You could always do a mod rewrite in an .htaccess file (assuming LINUX) of the other domain names to channge to the correct one automatically. Example:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+\.)*domain2\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule /?(.*) http://www.domain1.com/$1 [L,R]

 

#takes the secondary domain and any URIs and converts to the main domain

#so "www.any_domain.com/stuff" becomes "www.domain1.com/stuff"

#add one of the above for every additional domain pointed to the licensed one

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+\.)*domain1\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule /?(.*) http://www.domain1.com/$1 [L,R]

 

#takes requests for "domain1.com" without "www" and adds "www" into the request

#so "domain1.com" becomes "www.domain1.com", and adds any requested page to the end

On an SEO note...

 

If "domain.co.uk/clients" is a mirror of "domain.com/clients" then you may be penalized by duplicate content rules in search engines.

 

It's best to use some sort of redirect like the one bear posted above.
