  • You refer to a "subdomain like sub1" in the first paragraph, but state "subfolder sub1" in the second. I assume you mean "subdomain"? However, this appears to have created some confusion in the answers below. Can you please clarify. How are you currently "pointing" myfrienddomain.com to mydomain.com? Which domain do you wish to show in the address bar?

There are 2 real solution ( not the redirecting thing)

  1. Using 'Domain Masking' ( google it)

  2. You want otherdomain.com to show the sub1.maindomain.com/folder

You can do the following .

• create a sub2.maindomain.com And configure it with the server so that it displays the sub1/folder

• Create a CNAME Record on otherdomain.com that points to sub2.maindomain.com

    In this case, the OP seems to making the mistake of calling a sub-domain a sub folder.

  • He said subfolder , he meant subdomain's subfolder

  • I don't believe he means that at all. It is not uncommon that people come here and use the term sub folder for sub-domain. I did not see any reference to a folder in his question. BTW- I am not being critical of you or your answer. Just trying be be informative. We get this a lot here. I am glad you are here and jumping in!

  • Trust me- I read the question a couple of times- it is really confusing. It is easy to misread these questions. It is still possible he means folder. Who really knows for sure? Not me. I am just guessing based on what I have seen in the past. BTW- Welcome to the site!!

An easy way to do it in PHP is to create index.php on the site that needs to be redirected:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Redirect",true);
header("Location: http://example.com/folder",true);
?><html><head><title>Redirect</title></head><body><a href="http://example.com">Click here to continue</a></body></html>

Just replace example.com with the domain you want the redirection to go to.

In your case, make index.php in the document root of the domain:

myfrienddomain.com

Then make your index.php contain the following:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Redirect",true);
header("Location: http://sub1.mydomain.com",true);
?><html><head><title>Redirect</title></head><body><a href="http://sub1.mydomain.com">Click here to continue</a></body></html>

sub1 is a subdomain here.

The absolute simplest thing to do is create a CNAME record in your DNS that points myfrienddomain.com to sub1.mydomain.com and make sure there is no A record for myfrienddomain.com. You do not need a redirect. Let DNS do the work.
