Custom Urls?? How to get one???

NorthJack ENT. · Oct 7, 2008

Does anybody know how to get like a custom url?? I know my boy has one leading to his myspace page...does anyone know how to set one up?? Or where to get one from...??? My boy's is undagroundsoundz.com and it leads to his myspace. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS???

My guess is they just buy the domain like anyone else would to have a website and then they forward the address to their myspace since they dont have a real website.

You would have to purchase a domain name from a domain company then set up a redirect to the myspace page .... Im not sure if you would have to have a server for the domain or not to have a redirect ....

you either gotta buy one of get one from somebody who's not using theirs

I see...see I only understood part of what u guys said..hahah im not all into the whole internet domains and all that jazz...if anyone can give me any sites where I can do that I would appreciate it...

Go to

http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Ho...31BAB3B3C1D38F504.TC60b?__reuse=1223427955055

and buy a domain for $10 then have it routed to your myspace page

Thanx Dream..I know about a site called band zoogle..u can make your own WEBSITE for free...do you think I would be able to make the url with that then redirect it too my myspace?? A dude I know from Rocbattle has one and his is jhustlemuzik.com I think.but he made it with band zoogle but it goes to his website not his myspace...Think it's possible???

if you want a .com domain it will cost money period. I dont really know a way around it. It will probably only be $10 total and then about $10 a year after that. Well worth it BTW I own about 25 domains.

NorthJack ENT. · Oct 8, 2008

yea that one u gave me charges 6 a year...soo im goin with them once my money transfers over from rocbattle...Thanx again Dream...

I haven't tried this myself but this is supposed to make text a link...
<a href="URL_OF_SITE_HERE" target="_blank">Displayed Text </a>

NorthJack ENT. · Oct 8, 2008

Do not order a domain name through 1and1, they are the WORST registrar around! Go to the Better Business Bureau and read complaints about them, http://www.dc.bbb.org/report.html?national=Y&compid=1040770.

I couldn't get many web applications to work using their hosting. They kept telling me "Oh, we're upgrading, try tomorrow." This happened for a week, then I demanded my money back as allowed by their "satisfaction guaranteed" policy. Beware, I had to write ten nasty e-mails about how they are not honoring their "guarantee" by not refunding my money, before they reversed the charges.

To make it even worse, I received a bill 6 months later for the hosting they refunded me for...

I've never had a problem with GoDaddy, http://godaddy.com/.

GO DADDY SUCKS! if you are a real admin 1and1 is the way to go. Again I have 25 domains with 1and1 with about 24 web apps running. Two of those I moved from godaddy because they sucked so bad!

IllMuzik is hosted on Jaguarpc.com, great host. Their domain hosting is aletianic.com, $9.95/year.

To redirect to another page, put this in the <head> tags:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yoursite.com">

I outlined my problem with 1and1 and simply made the statement that I've never been screwed by GoDaddy. Should I be concerned with how many apps I can get running or how the company treats me? To each his own. I have a friend who uses PowWeb, http://www.powweb.com/powweb/index.bml.

Plus, it seems the NorthJack ENT. simply wants to buy a domain name for forwarding purposes.

Shonsteez · Oct 10, 2008

I did a site for someone that had a POWWEB, i hated their control panel. Most hosts are all the same tho minus a few factors....Im just a picky bastard.

If your just buying a domain u can pretty much cop one of those anywhere....
I got mine at Yahoo a long ass time ago for 10 bucks a yr.

I agree with this----Godaddy.com is the move, I've used it myself.

Good luck

thedreampolice · Oct 10, 2008

godaddy sucks I will never use them again. Every person that I know that has moved from godaddy to 1and1 loves it. Read this

We can go back and forth all day about what sucks and what doesn't---Godaddy works for me but that's me. What rocks my boat may sink yours and flip side-----

This is a great example of "to each his/her own"

I guess the best advice to give right now would be to just do the research on several sites (I believe m!nd_ctrl posted a link for BBB, ALWAYS check them out for reviews on any type of business---great idea)

What ever feels right and works for you!

((smile))

Good luck again

thedreampolice · Oct 10, 2008

ha ha fair enough, BTW if you search better the BBB for godaddy they have loads more complaints.
