Hey there,<br />
<br />
I'm the first one to admit I am no expert and fully expect this question to be a stupid one, but I would be none the less extremely appreciative of some direction.<br />
<br />
You see I have a server serving two sites. A main one and a secondary one which is unrelated. When users type in the address of the secondary site in the form of &quot;<a href="http://www.2ndsitename.com" rel="ugc">www.2ndsitename.com</a>&quot;&nbsp;the correct site comes up no problem. However, when users type in the address of the secondary site without the www... ie &quot;2ndsitename.com&quot; the browser automatically directs them to the home page of the main site. <br />
<br />
I am guessing this is a method set up to catch users who enter an incorrect address, but I wonder if there is any way to stop this happening. Some advice on how to go about sorting this out would be fantastic.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Server with multiple sites incorectly directing visitors.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
