I have an ecommerce website. I have a help desk website hosted on another domain.

So what I want is to have an URL like this: "http://www.example.com/help" and it will take my customers to my help desk site which is hosted on another domain, let's say http://www.example2.com.

So when someone enters http://www.example.com/help" into their browser's address bar, they are taken to http://www.example2.com"

I think it should be fairly easy to achieve. Please point me in the correct direction.

Somewhere in the HTML of the web page you can paste a link like:

<a href="http://www.example.com/help">Here you put text you want your customer to see</a>

If you want to redirect the customer to another URL, that question has been asked and answered here: Redirect from an HTML page

  • I think you misunderstood my problem. I know how to hyperlink. The thing is, I want to create an URL. Right now, "http://www.example.com/help" doesn't exist. I want to create this URL so that this URL redirects to some website of my liking. – AspiringDeveloper Jul 31 '14 at 01:36
  • Are you trying to create a sub folder called "/help" on your current domain, do you want to purchase another domain in addition to the one you already have, or do you want to link to the site of someone else? – james_time Jul 31 '14 at 01:55
  • I already have a site called www.example2.com I want this URL: www.example1.com/help" to take me to www.example2.com Sorry for my unclear explanation beforehand. – AspiringDeveloper Jul 31 '14 at 01:56

If you are using php for http://example.com/help page than you can simple paste following snippet to your help page

<?php header("Location: http://example2.com") ?>

this will redirect your user to example2.com directly!!

or you can use jquery in case you are not using php!!

    <script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    window.location = "http://example2.com";    
    });
    </script>

Don't forget to add jquery library on header to get jquery working correctly,

hope this helps,

thanks.
