Using 2 domain names on one WP installation

  • Hello,

    We host a few domains under WP and one client has a problem. His site domain.COM has been blocked by some French providers after request of French authorities. Strangely, other French providers do not block him. Blocked providers are about 1/3 of usual global traffic. Block has been put on the DNS so that domain.COM doesn’t resolve to the site IP. IP itself isn’t blocked.

    He could of course change the domain name, but would probably lose a large part of the current 2/3 users that are not blocked.

    Is there a way to setup domain.ORG and to point it to the current WP installation ? It must not be a redirection, but the whole site should run under .ORG (and .COM at the same time for users who connect to .COM)?

    As the domain name is written in the wp_options table, currently .COM, all connections are processed to the COM domain. Is there a way to change this so users of .COM and .ORG visit the same website (not a mirror of course, just the same)?

    Thank you!

  • don’t think it is possible because all the database entries with domain name will need to be modified on the fly depending where the visitors come from. the nearest solution is a mirror site.

    How about redirecting all visitors to .ORG? This won’t lose the web traffic.

    I would interested to know the solution too, if any.

    In fact the only solution seems to be real-time mirroring so that the 2 websites have exactly the same content at the (quite) same time. Mirroring in both sides, especially for comments and stats. Seems to be 95% SQL job in fact…
