htaccess modification is not working in x10hosting?

[espanavs]

Hi everybody,

I managed to forward my x10hosting domain to the .tk domain I wanted. BUT now I can´t make the address bar shows my .tk domain instead of the x10hosting.
Example: User types http://espanavsengland.tk and its forwarded to http://espanavsengland.x10hosting.com/blog. But I want to show in the address bar http://espanavsengland.tk.

Here is the code I added:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^espanavsengland\.tk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.espanavsengland\.tk$
RewriteRule ^(.*) espanavsengland\.tk/$1 [P]

Can someone tell me if it´s me doing something wrong or x10hosting does not allow this functionality?

Best regards,

Yedi

When I configured my .cf domain, I think I used the CPanel "Parked Domains" tool. Then, I needed to configure my domain-name registrar to point to the proper x10 nameservers.

Hi Sudomanx,

Thanks for your reply. I did that already and the .tk domain is pointing to the x10hosting one. BUT when the final address is reached, the name on the address bar is http://espanavsengland.x10hosting.com/blog instead of http://espanavsengland.tk.

I hope it make sense now.

People cannot use *.x10hosting.com, only *.x10host.com
Is there anything in the htaccess file that mentions the default sub-domain?

Hi Caftpx10,

Sorry, you´re right, the domain is *.x10host.com.
And you can see my current htaccess file on the top of this post. There is no mention to x10host domains at all. If that is what you mean.

I think you need to do this in two steps. First, setup the hostname like:

RewriteEngine on
AuthName espanavsengland.x10host.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^espanavsengland.tk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.espanavsengland\.tk\/$1" [R=301,L]

Then, setup WordPress to respond to the the root domain. Have you read:
