I would like to link my site to several sub-domain sites I have outside of bluehost but can't seem to figure out how to do this. Also, I would like those links to open in a new window. Can someone help me with this?

Please be gentle with me, I am an old dog trying to learn a lot of new tricks at once!

Thank you!

To create a link that pops up in a new window, place this in your html file.



<a href="http://sub.domain.com" target="_blank">Click Here</a>


Hope that helps

Thank you. However, as I said, I'm really NEW at this. Where in my html file do I place this? Right now, when you click on my subdomain link button it is trying to direct to www.mybluehostdomain.com/mysubdomain.com - which of course doesn't exist.

Also - when I open my website my browser toolbar shows it as "untitled". How do I give my site a title?

Thanks again.

What are you using to edit these file? Are you using just HTML or are you using a site builder tool?

When you create links, you have to have to http:// with the link.

The title would go at the top where it looks like this



<html>
<head>
<title>TITLE HERE</title>
</head>

You would need to modify the A records for the subdomain to point to the appropriate nameservers. I don't think there is an option in the control panel to do that. The only option I can find for updating domain records for domains registered with Bluehost is the one for changing the MX record for when you have email hosted elsewhere. Check with whoever the domain is registered with to see if they provide a way to update the A records associated with a subdomain to point to a different hosting site to that of the main domain.

areidmtm,

I built the site with pagewizard from the cpanel and attempted the redirects from the cpanel under "web server config" however I am attempting to make the html changes thru the file manager and clicking on "edit html". But I have a VERY LIMITED knowledge of html. I have found the parts of the home page that refer to the links and have attempted to make the suggested change but it doesn't seem to be saving my changes. I also found where it is showing the name of my site to be "untitled" yet when I change it, it still doesn't save my change.

Felgall - I'm sorry, but you are way over my head - I don't even know what an "A record" is let alone changing an MX record.

I am grateful to all for any help and advice!
