URL rewriting (e.g., mod_rewrite) or aliases to have the web server serve the same page for two different domain names. [2] Once the URL is masked it displays the URL mask rather than the original URL/domain name. [3] Masking does not affect the content of the actual website; it only covers up the original URL/domain name.
The new URL should be provided in the Location field, included with the response. The 301 redirect is considered a best practice for upgrading users from HTTP to HTTPS. RFC 2616 [1] states that: If a client has link-editing capabilities, it should update all references to the Request URL. The response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.
URL hijacking is an off-domain redirect technique [3] that exploited the nature of the search engine's handling for temporary redirects. If a temporary redirect is encountered, search engines have to decide whether they assign the ranking value to the URL that initializes the redirect or to the redirect target URL.
A wildcard DNS record is a record in a DNS zone that will match requests for non-existent domain names. A wildcard DNS record is specified by using a * as the leftmost label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com.
Namecheap is an American ICANN-accredited domain name registrar [1] and web hosting company, based in Phoenix, Arizona. The company was founded in 2000 by Richard Kirkendall [ 2 ] and has since grown to become one of the largest independent domain registrars in the world, with over 10 million customers and over 17 million domains under management.
Domain privacy (often called Whois privacy) is a service offered by a number of domain name registrars. [1] A user buys privacy from the company, who in turn replaces the user's information in the WHOIS with the information of a forwarding service (for email and sometimes postal mail, it is done by a proxy server).
Email spoofing is the creation of email messages with a forged sender address. [1] The term applies to email purporting to be from an address which is not actually the sender's; mail sent in reply to that address may bounce or be delivered to an unrelated party whose identity has been faked.
A common method is to direct all World Wide Web traffic to a web server, which returns an HTTP redirect to a captive portal. [8] When a modern, Internet-enabled device first connects to a network, it sends out an HTTP request to a detection URL predefined by its vendor and expects an HTTP status code 200 OK or 204 No Content.
