seeking technical assistance

seeking technical assistance was created by kennethfolk
At Vince Horn's suggestion, I registered the domain name kennethfolk.com, and plan to redirect it to this site. Vince mentioned kennethfolk.com in the Buddhist Geeks interview and explained to me that if we ever move from the Wetpaint host, we could just redirect kennethfolk.com to the new website. Meanwhile, I have to redirect kennethfolk.com to this Wetpaint site. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

(No plans at this time to move from Wetpaint. As limited as it is, it's comparatively user friendly once you get the hang of it, and I think we should stay here for awhile.)

Thanks,

Kenneth

There are a lot of tech-savvy people who hang out here, so it will get straightened out quickly, I'm sure.

Where did you register the domain?

Kenneth, call domain.com and ask them if they offer a service called "web hop" or something similar. There's no one commonly accepted way to do what you want to do, but it can be done by some registrars or service providers like the dreaded GoDaddy.

I think you want to use their "URL Forwarding" feature, apparently free with your domain name.

Thanks, guys! It's great to have such a knowledgeable group. Tomo, I'm going to follow up on your suggestion first, and that might just solve the problem.

That is the easiest, I think. If you have hosting set up too, then it is easy to do a "redirect" but I suspect you just have the name parked at present. Now, if you did have hosting, and you did, say, want to ditch Wetpaint...
