Hi all,
I own a domain that points to another one. I'd like to hide the second domain in a web browser. How can I do that?

eg: if www.domain1.com points to www.domain2.com/something.html, I'd like the browser to NOT show the domain2 URL.

It usually involved loading the domain2 location within a full sized frame of the domain1 location. Many registrars will do this for you through one option or another.

Thanks. I'll have to look into it. I run a web site for my graduating class and there's this conception that people won't register on my site (for free) since it redirects them from the high school-made domain to mine, and people seem to think it's a scam of some sort. Not for nothing but I've got 50 or so users already out of a graduating class of 300+, so that's no too shabby (not to mention word of mouth is positive). So they want me to shell out another $12/month so that the domain can have its own db which I don't want to do since I'm paying for this myself.

This doesn't hide the domain completely, unfortunately. It can still be seen if the user digs deep enough. Those who find it may consider this even more evidence of a scam, and that would be a Bad Thing.

If this were all taking place within a single domain and you were using Apache, you could use mod_rewrite to hide everything to a point where even browsers couldn't get at the information. I don't think you can do that in a cross-domain manner, though, and if you're not using Apache then this doesn't help much.
