Executive summary:
Ideally, is there a way to convince a single free 000webhost site to serve my four different domain URLs?
Failing that is there at least a way to get the old domain.com and www.domain.com support with one website?
Details:
I want to support legacy links which use two domains and their www subdomains.
http://apptllc.com
http://www.apptllc.com
http://alwayspositivepettraining.com
http://www.alwayspositivepettraining.com
I don’t want any broken links, but I am happy to have all those URLs permanently redirect to
http://www.alwayspositivepettraining.com
Pre-migration I used two 000webhost sites. One accepted queries to http://apptllc.com and http://www.apptllc.com then used .htaccess redirects to send everyone to the other site. The other accepted queries to http://alwayspositivepettraining.com and http://www.alwayspositivepettraining.com and served my actual content (simple static files). Other than the apptllc redirect everything site routinely getting shut down by 000webhost as inactive, this worked well enough that it was not worth spending time finding a cleaner solution.
Now I have tried to migrate, and as I post this I have a site accepting queries for www.alwaypositivepettraining.com or alwayspositivepettraining.000webhostapp.com. The domain is parked, but I have not been able to convince it to also accept queries for the simple alwaypositivepettraining.com version. Though that might be a DNS timeout issue.
I’ve also tried to park or point two domains at this site so I could host all four URLs from a single site, but the second LINK WEBSITE command seems to always unlink the previous domain.
I’ve setup a second website apptllc.000webhostapp.com, but that site always redirects to http://error404.000webhost.com/? with and without park and point variants, even with an empty .htaccess file and just an index.html file. I’m not sure if my problems there are a configuration issue at my end, or a result of the “Free Hosting Errors Are Being Worked On” issue in the forum banner. So I’m giving up on that for today (is there a way I can see diagnostic logs?).
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
