Re: Redirect?

Geeez, I was missing a whole point. When you have a sub domain like
jobs.mysite.com, you can't have a www in front of it because it is
not a possible URL. So I won't need to redirect them.

It IS a possible URL - just not a very sensible one.

Many people do use www.sub.domain.com, because they (wrongly) assume
that every site on the planet has to start with WWW - those are the
folk that write to ODP in their thousands telling them them that
dmoz.org is "wrong"!

But 'convention' says go with www.domain.com and / or
sub.domain.com - and make sure the server is set up to exclude the
other possibilities, using 301 permanent redirects.


Thanks Andrew. In this case I have to point to a customized Job Board
located on the jobamatic.com site. My objective was to use my URL
rather than theirs. The jobamatic instruction was to setup a CNAME
change and I had to point to jobs.mysite.com to do that. I did not
understand the www issue with a sub domain like this. So my whole
redirect premise was wrong.

It seems to be working very well now.

Thanks Again,

Bob
