I have 3 domains: domain.com, domain.org, and domain.net I have an SSL cert for .org, but not .com and .net. I would rather not have to purchase SSL certs for all 3 TLDs. How do I redirect the .com and .net domains to .org ? Normal HTTP apache redirection methods don't seem to be working.    Thanks in advance.

We're using setup with an nginx on one machine and (currently) one application server on apache in the back.  For multiple domains we got ssl certs, but only for the domain itself. So without subdomain www. Everything works as expected, we do not use the  anywhere. But we have customers who are typing this in by hand, resulting in a warning in the browser on the clientside. ..and a new seo guy insisting on working www subdomain WITH ssl.  What am i looking for: A creative solution which does not require new certificates for 20+ domains.  I already thought about getting certificates from let's encrypt for our www subdomain, then 301 to domain.tld.. but it's still in beta.  Any ideas ?

In our network the name of the network domain is also the domain of the organization's website (say, example.com). Externally, people can enter example.com to visit our website, but internally, this points to one of the several domain controllers, we have for Active Directory, some of which do not even run a webserver.   As a result of this, links to http://example.com don't work internally (only www.example.com does work internally).  How do we point http requests transparently to the web server, and what side effects does this have?

So I have my own windows server, and on it I am using Multicraft to host multiple Minecraft servers. I have also purchased a domain through google. I have a subdomain set up for each Minecraft server instance on different ports, as well as a subdomain for the Multicraft webserver. All domains work fine, but my issue is I only want multicraft.example.com to direct to the webserver, however all other subdomains when put into a web browser instead of Minecraft also direct to the Multicraft panel. I've looked at  but it does not answer my issue. I have the pointers already working with A records and SRV records for the webserver and Minecraft server. But because they're on the same IP, every subdomain for a Minecraft server points to the webserver. I only want the webserver domain to point to the webserver. Not the Minecraft subdomains.

Is there a way to host multiple domains with Apache web server without making any changes to the DNS server?  I have full control over the Apache server and no control over the DNS server.

I have this in my .htaccess (modified from the default Drupal .htaccess):  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.website.com\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://website.com/$1 [L,R=301]   In theory this will redirect something like http://www.website.com/asdf to http://website.com/asdf. However, it doesn't redirect, it allows requests to go through like there was no redirect intended.  (I'm on OS X if it matters, but I've also tried it on a Network Solutions Linux server with the same result.)

On IIS 7.5 I am trying to achieve this with two websites:  Default Web Site is bound to:  (blank host header port 80 - http) (blank host header port 443 - https) go.example.com www71.example.com the IP address of go.example.com  2nd web site "Beta" is bound to:  beta.example.com (blank host header port 443 - https) * using blank only because it doesn't seem to be possible to    bind https to a named host header   And both need to work with SSL.  But I have these problems:   When I type in beta.example.com, I see the go.example.com site instead I can not seem to add the SSL binding to both websites at once (I have a single *.example.com wildcard certificate).  The beta site will not even start if I add the https binding to it.   This is how I have set it up:    What is the correct way to set it up?

I have recently registered some domains on the basically brand new .directory gTLD. Because of operating costs to maintain a gTLD, it is assumed that many of the hundreds being rolled out this year and next will fail. I will admit I am not very knowledgeable on how the TLD process works.   What exactly does a new TLD failing mean? I realize that they lose ICANN accreditation, but does that just mean that they will be no longer be sold? If the .directory TLD were to go under, would my .directory domains be affected? I bought it from domain registrar Gandi if that helps.

Firstly, I want to redirect an old domain to a new domain, (old site to new site).  The old site has good ranking on Google, now if I redirect the site, I want to retain this site on the Google rankings and want to develop the new site's SEO.   What would be the best redirect to use? When a Googlebot re-crawls the old site after its been redirected, would the search results still show the keywords and source code on the original old site (as the page is still on the old server)? the new sites will have near identical /products.html pages and contact us pages etc. Will these all be automatically forwarded? What is ideally the best way to preserve the old site as well as redirect users that go on the old site straight to the new site, i was thinking of using some sort of CSS code which can blank out the page, or add a new layer or white to it, so the keywords remain?

I am wondering if it's possible to create a wildcard certificate with a prefix.  I know that *.example.com will cover anything at the first level (eg. one.example.com, two.example.com, three-four.example.com, etc), but will not cover another.one.example.com because that's 2 levels.  I need to have a wildcard certificate that recognizes a prefix; so it would be www.*.example.com.  That means, www.one.example.com, www.two.example.com, www.three.example.com, etc would all work correctly.  Is this possible, and is there a certificate provider that can do this?

We currently have a website set to redirect to a new address (our client changed domain names, but wants the old domain to send people to the new site) in IIS 8.5 using permanant redirects found in the 'HTTP Redirect' feature for the site.  The SSL cert has come up for renewal for the old domain, and there is an open question in our tech department as to whether or not it needs to be renewed.  With the HTTP Redirect set up in IIS, does the site need an SSL cert?  Or will a visitor be redirected before such things are checked?

Can you get an Extended Validation SSL certificate that applies to unlimited subdomains?  Does it make technical sense?  I'm using Digicert and they said that it wasn't possible to offer such a product.

I run several different web pages on different servers (with different IP addresses). These pages are linking to each other in order to boost number of backlinks pointing to my pages.   I would like to move all those projects to a single virtual host (with a single IP address). My question is, how Google handles links within different domain names but same IP address. Is there some penalization for it? Could this lead to lower PageRank?

So, I'm running an Apache server on CentOS 7. I have two domains pointing to the same place:  and . In my cfg, I have three VirtualHosts; one for http (for both) one for the subdomain-less, and one for the www. I have the separate certs configured (one for each), but when I deploy, Apache just serves up the first cert it finds in the cfg. So if I have the VirtualHost for www first, it serves up the www cert for both  and   I have other domains being served on the same box and they get all the right certs.  Can somebody please explain what is going on here? It's driving me absolutely   # Abbreviated Main config file for example.com domain &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;    ServerAlias example.com   ServerAlias www.example.com    DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com"  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;  &lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt;   ServerAlias example.com      DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com"    SSLEngine on   SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem"   SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem"  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;  &lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt;   ServerAlias www.example.com    DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com"    SSLEngine on   SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/fullchain.pem"   SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.example.com/privkey.pem"  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

Imagine my competitor is getting 1000s of views a day and is established in Google search engine.  I plan to launch my website in a weeks time but will have to work hard to get into google search results  If my competitor has the domain www.example.com , can I buy the domain www.example.co.uk and then redirect that to my website?  I figure some people may accidentally put .co.uk instead of .com  Would this me illegal in any way , or is it fair game as they haven't bought the domain, meaning I could possibly look to selling it to them?

I have the following domains/subdomains. They are all related to each other, yet they must be on different domains/subdomains  example.com  www.example.com (redirects to example.com)  sub1.example.com  sub2.example.com  example.net  www.example.net (redirects to example.net)  sub1.example.net  sub2.example.net   I would like to have a single WordPress installation for all the above (i.e., end up with a single DB). I do understand that I can setup a multisite installation if I have a single domain with subdomains. But for the above, this would mean I end up with TWO multisite installations (one for example.com, and another for example.net).   Is it possible to setup a single multisite installation with a single database allowing more than one main domain as shown above? If so, how?  Thanks.

I have multiple domains hosted on a shared hosting plan which provides a single IP address for all domains hosted. I want domains such as:   www.plumbersinnewyork.com www.plumbersinwashington.com www.electriciansinnewyork.com   (Domains are for example only)  All these websites are on shared hosting and, on pinging each domain, show the same IP Address.  Will this affect my SEO strategy in any way?

I'm looking for a way to force SSL and www.  I've been able to force both separately but together I keep running into redirection issues. The following code works when handling a URL in this format: http://example.com and properly redirects to https://www.example.com but when the incoming URL is https://example.com it will not forward to https://www.example.com - Any suggestions?  EDIT: it should also send http://www.example.com to https://www.example.com.  RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !127\.0\.0\.0 RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example\.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
