Web address help

Postby Fun Zone » Tue Jan 01, 2008 8:35 pm

Our provider/host has given us www.funzonemotorsports.com/shopping as a home page web address. How do we get rid of the "shopping" (or any other) extension. In other words we just want our home page address to be www.funzonemotorsports.com. Is this a shopsite issue or an issue with our provider/host? Our provider says there is no way to drop the extension on the home/index page. Is that true?

Also our shopsite access has gone down three times in the last few weeks but I'm sure that's a provider/host issue. They keep saying that the problem is that our main website is Front Page and shopsite does not work link well with Frontpage.

Thanks,
John

Just to clarify my last post, We don't care what is displayed. We just want our customers to get to our site via www.funzonemotorsports.com.
We don't want them to have to type www.funzonemotorsports.com/shopping.

How can we do this?

BTW our shopsite is down on our server so you will not get there with the above link right now anyway...

Thanks

The authorized url for your store is set in the <storeid>.auth file for your store. (<storeid> is the name that you use to login to your store). Store pages will be generated by ShopSite at that url. So you will need a <storeid>.auth that does not include the "shopping" if you want store pages to be generated at just your base url, www.funzonemotorsports.com.

You will also need to have the web server configure to go to that url and not the "/shopping" url. So contact your hosting company and ask them to configure the webserver for your store for the base url and have them use a <storeid>.auth with the correct URL.

Note that some hosting companies have specific ways that they set things up and they may not be willing to change it for you. (You always have the choice of moving to a different host it they don't want to do it the way you want.)
