How do you get the address bar not to change when a user is viewing other pages on your site, is it only if you use frames?
Thnaks Ian

I believe that is the only way.
I was going to suggest that you can make your pages use frames but not look like it. But your site layout looks like it would fit frames nicely.
Nice site.
I was in your part of Spain 25+ years ago on a high school trip after I graduated. Very pretty area. Kissed my first girl on a beach in Malaga!! (I was slow)

Thanks for the feedback on the site and the info on your first kiss, made us laugh.
I'm not keen on turning the site into frames, the reason for wanting the address in the address bar to stay the same was I'm thinking of setting up other domains for Casa el Bosque, but at the cheaper end of web hosting i.e. ones that don't use php and I would need to link back into casa el bosque for the booking form and contact us and didn't want the user to think why they have been moved onto a different website.
Cheers Ian

That is a little different situation.
I sounds like you are saying that you want to set up another domain (say www.casedelbano.com) that points to the same .html pages as www.casaelbosque.com.
So www.casaelbosque.com/bookings.html would be exactly the same as www.casadelbano.com/bookings.html??
Do you care that the delbano pages would say "Case El Bosque" on them??
I've done something like this before although it also involved JSP, but I'm sure that you can do it with .html only if you want the pages to be the same on each site, but just want the domain name to be different.
What type of webserver are you on? Linux w/ apache??

Don,
Yes I think what you say is what I want.
I'm on a windows webserver.
In plain terms it is this:
Customer visits site of my new domain www.newdomain.com and the site viewed is the same as www.casaelbosque.com yet in the address bar it always stays as www.newdomain.com even when you click on say Links the adddress bar won't say www.newdomain.com/links just stay as www.newdomain.com
I think my php would forms would still work this way?
OR my other thinking was:
customer views www.newdomain.com and can see all the same as www.casaelbosque i.e all files are loaded onto the new domain webserver yet when a customer wants to email me they are directed to www.casaelbosque.com/contactus.html yet in the address bar it still shows www.newdomain.com as the new domain would be cheaper hosting and not capable of php commands.
Does this help?
Ian

I guess that I misunderstood. What you are thinking would need frames.
How much do you pay for your webhosting? And how much are the non-php plans that you are talking about?
I looked on my provider's site and even their cheapest plan ($25/year) has PHP capabilities. It would seem like you should be able to do what you want by getting one site and point multiple domains at it. Usually they'll charge and extra bit per month to point extra domains but not as much as have a whole new site.
Email me if you'd like and we can talk more.

I pay £70 about $105 for php and 1 year domain reg...yes a bit steep but the service is very very good....www.fasthosts.co.uk
Mind you $25 seems excellant.
Ian

That's only $8.75 per month, even less when you subtract whatever they charge for the domain registration.
That's probably a pretty good price, depending upon what your diskspace and bandwidth limits are.
At AssortedInternet.com, the $6/month plan has 50mb diskspace and 2gb/month bandwidth. That doesn't include domain registration which would cost $8.75/year at godaddy.com.
Have you asked your provider if they can point extra domain names at your current site. They should be able to do this in a way that all domains would show the exact same site.
So www.casaelbosque.com/links and www.newdomain.com/links would both point to the current links page.
I would think that they should do this for only $1 or $2 per month per extra domain. Much cheaper than setting up duplicate sites.
