How do I bypass GoDaddy's landing page?

**mespe** · 25 May 2016, 06:33 PM

Hi and thanks in advance.

Hosting on godaddy, my store is in a subdirectory.
Whenever someone types in www.benzbonz.biz they get
a cheasy looking webpage and must click "Enter Here" to get to my store.
I would like to rediect anyone that just types in the benzbonz.biz part to the store subdirectory.

I have SSL installed

I've googles it and have tried various redirect statements, but none seem to work.

And when I get this htaccess working do I need to make changes to the config files in admin and includes?

in your cpanel, you should be able to change your document root.

you would then need to remove the /store from your configure.php files.

Try finding that page using your FTP client and look for anything named
index
default
etc.

Once found you can transfer it to your local and view the contents in a code editor
If this is the page file you can delete it

Or seeing that you have no intention of using the root of your domain name for anything but the store, you could move your store into your root and operate forward from there: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...that-directory

I don't have a cpanel hosting account. I'm in the Data Center.

I have access to index.html and htaccess. in the root of my domain.

Don't want it in the root because I would like to open another type store from the same domain.

found some html code to do it,,,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>

<TITLE>BenzBonz Quality Pre-Owned Mercedes Parts</TITLE>

<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=https://benzbonz.biz/subdirectory/index.php">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "https://benzbonz.biz/subdirectory/index.php"
</script>
<title>Page Redirection</title>
</head>
<body>

If you are not redirected automatically, follow the <a href='https://benzbonz.biz/subdirectory/index.php'>link to Benzbonz Quality Pre-Owned Mercedes Parts</a>

<p>We have thousands of Quality Pre-Owned Mercedes parts in
our warehouse ready to ship.</p>

What's your plan to direct/redirect to this other store using the same domain name?

Asking more to incite further planning. Seems like might be able to use a sub-domain type action for this store, though things can get messy if it's not a true sub-domain style reference supported by your host.

FYI, be prepared for a lot of other discussion about trying to make money using multiple "stores" all in the same "area". I think I've said enough.

Well that is the most SEO unfriendly way to do that....nicest way I could say it...
Use an .htaccess redirect, something like below.

Code:

# .htaccess main domain to subdirectory redirect
# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on
# Change example.com to be your main domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
# Don't change the following two lines.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/$1
# Change example.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdirectory/index.html [L]
