my website is just up and running (first) and the home page is on myname.co.uk, but when I go into any pages of the home page, the URL says it is on my mates name who is providing the webspace. He says to change this so the URL's stay on myname.co.uk i would have to recode or something but that sounds real complicated, and like many other It "geeks" he refuses to give a straight answer but looks smug and tells me he is going to sort it. HELP!

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in "Technical Q&A," not in "Discussions." Please re-post there.

Not only will you be more likely to attract the attention of those seeking to provide answers, but you will also make it easier for those seeking discussions to find such.

Thank you.

Rob,

Web pages use a coding language, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to provid instructions to the web browser. Each link on your page needs an address (URL) for the browser to find it. So, if your web site at http://myname.co.uk has a page named mystuff.html, in order for it to be located on your site, a link would be coded something like this:

My Stuff

Of course, mystuff.html would also have to be located on your web site, in order for this to work.

If you are interested in learning more about HTML, here is a good source:

On the other hand, if you just want to know why that particular person is so smug, that is a conversation for another day.

Good luck.

Thanks. People who treat others like idiots rub me the wrong way. If some of these smug people had to attract and retain their own clients in order to eat, they might learn to behave differently toward others.

If you peer mail me the links or email 'ozmediaATexcite.com' (replacing AT with @ of course) then I can tell you why the links don't work, and/or fix them for you if you like.

I have a feeling that Craig's comments up top are bang on.

I managed to set up URL masking. And also revamped the site to be easier to use on all OS's.
Cheers
