 |
|
Hi, I've recently registered a domain with www.mydomain.com and I've setup the url pointing to point my domain name to my ip address where abyss server is running on. "pretty straight forward right?" Here's my problem. When I bring up my "index.htm" page in a browser I see my domain name just fine. But when I click or visit any links inside of my site my domain name is replaced with my ip address and the port that I have open for abyss. Obviously this is not what I want to happen. Has anyone experienced this before and how should it be fixed? I'm not sure if it's an abyss thing, or something at mydomain.com, whom I've asked but no response yet.
thanks :?: |

When you say "url pointing," do you mean forwarding? Unless there is an option your provider offers to "cloak" the URL, then it will always display the real IP address.
If you want to do it like a normal website would to not show the actual IP, you need to use DNS Services. I recommend ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com).

Not always. I don't use cloaking and it dosen't. It could also be your HTML.
If you made a link like this:
| Code: | | <a href="123.123.123.123/page.htm">text</a> |
It will show the IP instead of the domain. If thats what your doing you can change it to:
| Code: | | <a href="my-domain-name.com/page.htm">text</a> |
Then your domain will still show in the address bar.

It all depends on what happens first. When you type in the domain, if the domain stays in the browser, then from then on, the domain will keep in the browser. If the domain redirects to the IP and changes in the browser, then the IP will stay.
