Zero Hour has two website URLs?

[Big_Red]

I see that ZH's website has two different URLs

1. http://www.directcomwireless.com/0hour/

2. http://www.zerohourarms.com/

Is that new? What's with the DIRECTCOMWIRELESS? Are they going into milsurp cell phone sales too?

I suspect that DirectCom Wireless is simply the company that hosts Zero Hours' web site. Few companies that have web sites actually run the servers themselves -- it is far cheaper and easier to rent a server from a hosting company:

http://www.directcomwireless.com/main/index2.php?id=hosting

They also have this URL http://www.autoburst.net/ as well. Too bad we can't buy most of anything off of that site...

Not unusual for a site to have many different URLs all pointing to the same server.

Yup. For example:

http://waylandgunclub.org
http://waylandgc.org

Yes, I am aware of that. I just found it strange that they have a proper domain URL and then they have the DIRECTCOMWIRELESS (nothing to do with guns). As a business I would probably want to stick with the correct domain name regardless of how is hosting my site.

I too use hosting service but the only way you can get to my sites is by using the correct URL.

Yup. For example:

http://waylandgunclub.org
http://waylandgc.org

Yes, but at least you can tell that these two URLs closely resemble one another and probably lead to the same place.

It is not like one URL is http://waylandgunclub.org and the other is http://www.comeseemycow.com/waylandgunclub

The directcom wireless url is probably just a default url created by their hosting company.

The IP addresses for both of those appear to be in ranges owned by GoDaddy. Directcomwireless is based in Brockton (near Zero Hour).

I suspect this is just a case of two businesses owned by the same person (or somehow related) and the pages for Zero Hour were also parked in the Directcom web directory.

No big deal.

Or, that's the only one you know of.

Not necessarily. Directcomwireless is the hosting company, but godaddy was used to register the name?

Now I want to register comeseemycow.com, just so I can get that link to resolve.

Domain name forwarding.

I own the domain www.vicpintophoto.com which forwards the requests to my Smugmug account. You can get to the website by either using the above link or the actual Smugmug link. In my case smugmug and comcast host portions of my site. GoDaddy is who I used to register my domain name - they do not host anything for me.

Yeah, that's probably it. I looked at directcomwireless' address but not their services.

Incidently, there are also ways to host multiple domains on the same IP address. I forget how it's done exactly but it involves some sort of tag in the DNS record or some other DNS trickery. When they do this, they often have the same site in a subdirectory off the hosting company's main site.

Vic, those are some pretty cool photos.
