My feedback

[BlueIce]

I have been to other free webhosts before, and my site goes down most of the time and the features are not that good. I came upon x10 and I was amazed at how they give a lot of features for just a free host. So I decided to join this morning. I went to my cPanel and I was at first overwhelmed with the many buttons. Please don't mistake this to a negative feedback, because I was happy with how x10 tries to help us customize our site with the many features in the cPanel.

So anyway, I did the necessary thing in constructing my website, and now I'm on the modifying stage. Now I have a question...

Is it possible to specify the path for my files, and make my URL a lot more cleaner? My site is mysite.x10hosting.com/folder/ and what I want is to specify the URL to my files to mysite.x10hosting.com/folder so that whenever people go to my site it will only be http://mysite.x10hosting.com/

It's really much cleaner and the URL is shorter and easier to memorize. It is done using a subdomain manager, but I didn't find it in my CP. I searched through the forum but to no avail, and I really want to shorten my URL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

You can expect more replies if you can post this in the free hosting forums....

You can take everything out of /folder and just put it in your root directory. Otherwise to do what you're saying you will have to use "mod_rewrite". It is more for advanced web developers though.

If you wanted to go the mod rewrite route just do a google search for "mod rewrite tutorial"

Or you could use an index.php with the following code

<?php
header('Location: mysite.x10hosting.com/folder/');
?>
