I wouldn't be surprised if this has already been asked/answered but it is concerning a custom hostname for my site. I've used the information in Dgrin, perhaps a little less than a year ago to get http://photography.obrooks.com to refer to http://enigmaphotos.smugmug.com. That works fine but if someone types in www.photography.obrooks.com to attempt to get to my site, it will instead go to a website construction page (the same website construction page for my "base" domain - www.obrooks.com) and it just looks like my photography webiste is still in construction, which it is not. You see, I've had a domain since the late 90's (primarily to have a email name associated with me rather than some ISP - my first initial is "O" and my last name is "Brooks" - hence obrooks.com) and I never built a website (thought I still have intentions of doing so). Fast-forward to now when I'm doing photography and I figure I can use a varient of my "base" domain as a website for my photography, hence photography.obrooks.com. I might do others in the future like culture.obrooks.com. So, I'm content with www.obrooks.com going to a website construction page but I want www.photography.obrooks.com to go to enigmaphotos.smugmug.com along with photography.obrooks.com because people just tend to put www in front of a URL, even if they are not required to. So, how can I get www.photography.obrooks.com to go to my smugmug site? I've attached to this email the result of everything I did to set this up in the first place (I went through Network Solutions) and under my photography site's control panel/settings - the domain is "photography.obrooks.com". BTW, I'm completely confused with this new speed up thing you guys have done! So, I'm starting the new thread. I'm sorry - i really did try to find the answer before resorting to this. Any help would be appreciated.
