How to do URL masking?

By ongetc , 26 February, 2017

You have a long site URL but want to use a shorter URL, how is it done?

It is using the HTML frame to mask the destination URL and keep the originate URL in the browser.

You would create a site with a short URL and on that site, you create an index.html that contains the HTML code as shown below.

Here is the HTML code that makes the URL masking work!

Please note the extra space in the code.


< html >
< head >
< title>yourname< /title>
< meta name="description" content="your description" >
< meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2" >
< /head >
< frameset rows="100%,0" border="0" >
< frame src="http://verylongURLTosite.com?task=more&param=parm1" frameborder="0" >
< frame frameborder="0" >
< /frameset >
< /html >

Note: the above "frame src" use either the domain name or your IP address for your site.
