How to point www.example.com/testing/ to another hosting

Question

i have 2 domain, 1 is old domain, 1 is new domain

i setup my new site in new domain, but i wish to have the new www.example.com/testing/ redirect to the old domain's folder.

can it be done? how?

Are both of your sites on the same machine as well as the same LAN? If so you may have to run two web servers on the same machine, that is two different installs of apache. The redirect itself can easily be done with a free service like DDNS dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns
thanks for reply first. i don't have info of the old domain yet. for new domain, is a web server, im using php and apache server. my client don't want to migrate some of the folders at old domain to the new domain. so, asking to do something like redirection. can we ask hosting provider help us to do this?

if you you are running apache you can create a .htaccess file in the directory of the page you wish to redirect and use:

or a RedirectMatch:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/OldDir/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/NewDir/$1

	by placing the .htaccess file into the directory of the old domain, so that it points to the new one. have a read here: webmasterworld.com/forum23/3432.htm – Crewe May 19 '10 at 4:43

you can should use .htaccess, but if you want you can also use an easy php script :

    <?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */


?>
