URL forwarding

[keys]

I'm Looking for an online service to manage URL forwarding, without releasing domains to the providers Tag. This would be for hundreds of domains and at least 100 different destination URLs.

Not sure if this is what you need but how I do my forwarding is that all my domains point to the one url, a perl script then checks the HTTP_REFERER against a database file with all my domains in, if found, it then forwards on to the new url, with the destination address being masked.

For example, in the database file called domains.txt you would have:

domain1.co.uk|www.sedoparking.com/domain1.co.uk
domain2.co.uk|www.ndparking.com/domain2.co.uk
etc...

In your forwarding script i.e. www.yourdomain.co.uk/forwarding.cgi you would have at least the following code:

my $referer = $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} || '';

open (DOMAIN_DATABASE, "< domains.txt");
my @DOMAIN_ARRAY = <DOMAIN_DATABASE>;

foreach my $row (@DOMAIN_ARRAY) {
chomp($row);

my ($domain, $forward) = split(/\|/, $row);

if ($referer =~ m/$domain/) { # Domain matched
print "Location: $forward\n\n"; # Forward to new location
exit(0); # Exit program
}
}
close (DOMAIN_DATABASE);

Then all you need to do is update the domains.txt file with whatever forwarding url as you choose. Simple really.

Thanks for the reply. That is an easy solution for a techy, does anyone provide a simple managed service or control panel?

heartinternet allows bulk webforwarding (you can also great bulk groups, so you can do different things with different groups)

but of course that means you would have to change the IPS TAG
