Do I Need X2?

[Jimi_l]

Hi All,

I am doing volunteer work for a local non profit community radio station. They have three domains that they want to all point to the same site. Do they need to purchase X2 or can I simply change the registars' DNS records to all point to the one static IP address and use X1?

Currently their "BETA" site is running on X1 but on a sub domain created by the current Web host who I had point the sub Domain DNS record to the station's in house IP. I am using a CMS type site that needed My SQL and the current host did not support that. Now the station management want to ditch the old Web host (and old Web site) completely and move it all in house.

Does anyone see any major issues with this that I have not comprehended? It seems to me that as long as I make an index.html file in the root folder that points to the sub domain files, all requests to any of the Domains should hop right on over seamlessly correct?

Thanks in advance for any insight/advice/comments,

Jim

X1 will do the job for what you require. You simply do what you said, point each domain to the same IP address.

Thanks for the follow up. I have another question that perhaps you can help with.

Do you think changing the MX records to point to that same IP will have the same result? That is to say I have a mail server and Web mail installed on the sub domain and from what I understand the mail server will support multiple "names" under a single Domain.

Would it be reasonable to assume that this would make ALL of the adresses interchange? For example, an existing E-mail address under the sub domain would be
joe@mail.abc.com

After changing the MX records for the main domain(s), Joe's address would also be-
joe@abc.com
Along with any other Domain I pointed there. In essence you could send mail to either (any) address and it would arrive at the same place.

Thanks again,

Jim
