I want one of my domains (freelawofattractioncourse.com) to point to a page on another site of mine (https://dr.katievb.com/freecourse) without causing the URL to change in the visitor's address bar.

In other words, when a user browses to freelawofattractioncourse.com, freelawofattractioncourse.com should remain visible in the address bar, but the screen should show content from https://dr.katievb.com/freecourse (without the visitor even knowing that katievb.com exists).

My WordPress site is hosted on a Cloudways server. I'm also using CloudFlare, and I have a "Forwarding" Page Rule set up so that freelawofattractioncourse.com gets bounced to https://dr.katievb.com/freecourse (but that's not quite what I want because it visibly changes the URL in the address bar of the browser).

Is there a setting in CloudFlare (or some other service) that will allow me to achieve my domain masking goal?

P.S. I don't want to use iframes.

Also, I think that editing htaccess in the following way would achieve my goal:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} freelawofattractioncourse.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://katievb.com/freecourse [P]

But http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/flags.html#flag_p says "mod_proxy must be enabled", and Cloudways (my server provider) won't allow that (and will not let me edit Apache virtual hosts).

  • Your solution would appear to be "find another webhost, then".

  • Mouse over the down arrow; the popup says "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful". Downvotes without comment may be presumed to be for at least one of those reasons.

  • @womble Now that I've edited my question, it's more clearly unique (unrelated to that other question), right? Would it be possible to have the "marked as duplicate" reversed / undone?

Although not a recommended solution, you can fake it using iframes to load the other site's content directly into yours with HTML.

Note that this is not HTML5 compliant, but it should work with most browsers anyway.

create a index.html in your root www folder containing

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Free Law Of Attraction Course by Dr. Katie VanBuskirk</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">
</head>

<body>
<iframe src="http://katievb.com/freecourse" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Then create a default.css file in the same folder containing

iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    border: 0;
}

This will work in most browsers, and it will not show the other site's address.

  • Then you should read up on AJAX or jQuery, and how they deliverer dynamic content. That should do the trick for you.
