Problem using multiple domain names

I think this most probably has to do with the way that you’re redirecting your url.

Make sure that it’s a ‘redirect’ and not a ‘frame’.

If you’re doing this through your domain registrar, you should have a couple of options for redirection so just go through them and select the best one for you.

Thanks for your reply!

I now did the following, for testing:
1) Set up the DNS from my domain registrar to point towards our webserver, like a normal website.
2) set up IIS to forward that website to https://www.3cloudz.nl as permanent redirect (301).

Is that would you mean?

What we set up for the other extra domain names, with the same problem, is changing the DNS settings to forward to https://www.3cloudz.nl in stead of our server directly.

Mm…From my experience, generally if you set it up as a permanent 301 redirect to the website, that should solve the problem. You’re saying that it doesn’t work for you?

Thats correct.

Its set up now, so if you go to https://www.ikwilnaardecloud.nu you will see that the address in the address bar does not change to https://www.3cloudz.nl
Not even when i press aan link on the page.

Okay, if it’s just set up that way, it might take a little while for it take into effect.

If for whatever reason it’s still not working(it really should be, not sure why it wouldn’t), you can instead link the account to your hosting account and have it redirected through there, though that’s more of an indirect approach.

What’s happening to your site is called Domain Masking. WordPress is set up to do that automatically because changing URL’s like that can effect your SEO.

@hostawesome – Its been 24 hours now, still the same result. At first I tought the same but after a few weeks of not looking into the problem, its still there ??

@jenkehl – thanks for your information, I’ll take a look. It sounds promising.

The information provided was helpfull, altough it didnt solve my problem.

But while searching with this information I fount my problem. I went true all the IIS settings and found a problem with the bindings from one of the websites i’m hosting on there.

Every binding must be set to the IP adres (if you are using hostname links), one of them was linked to all unassigned address. This worked for people visiting the website, but on the server side it caused this minor problem. I’ve assigned it to the IP address and I was able to set everything up.

So what I’ve done: Maindomain is hosted on the IIS server, as a site ofcourse. In stead of changing the DNS settings of the additional domains on the control panel provided by the Domain registrar, I send them all directly to my IIS server. So for the DNS settings, its just a normal website.

I’ve created an additonal site for each extra domain name and forwarded that (via 301 permanent forward) to the main domain. This worked!

thanks for the reply’s everyone!
