: Domain masking (and simple page links) How do you set up the domain (I'm using GoDaddy) to mask the server URL but to append the sub-page link. I'm thinking something like the Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/something

@Reiling115

If I read correctly you want links to sub.domain.com/path to be redirected to domain.com/path and not just domain.com (may have the naked/sub domains the wrong way around but it's the same principle).

Generally this is called a relative redirect and can be done with an Apache rule like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^http://sub.domain.com(/.*)$ domain.com [L,R]


You don't need the L option, it's just stops processing further rules in case something else conflicts, but you need the R (or R=302) to redirect to another domain. You may also want the redirects to be cacheable by setting long distance expiry dates, etc.

If you want the subdomain part to be the path you can use:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^http://(.*).domain.com(/.*)$ domain.com/ [L,R]
