Domain name and Zen webspace

[link to this post]

I have a domain name registered elsewhere and want to point it at my Zen webspace.

I can point the DNS at the Zen servers but how do I get it to go to my webspace at Zen?

you need to "forward" your domain to your zen web space address, (zen******.zen.co.uk)

Create an index web page and type <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1;url=http://www.your_zen_webspace"> into the header.

Then FTP the page to your domain.

This will introduce a 1 second delay. Instead, make it ..."content="0; url=..."

Better still, use a .htaccess file to control the redirect: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=htaccess+redirect
