Just bought a domain from namecheap.com how to register?
December 27th, 2013
My website is:
nerdorgeek.com
but I’m not sure what I have to do for the namecheap.com
website settings…
I found this guide, hope you can do something with it.
ps. You shouldn create an Subdomain on namecheap Panel and redirect the Subdomain instead of the original, because they suggesting to do so.
Here you go:
You want your url like
http://superman.site.com/
Or
http://coolservername.site.com/
agreed?
Good..
1) Create your subdomain on your domain Cpanel folder.
For this example, I own test.com and the subdomain I created is batman.test.com
2) Open Cloud Explorer (free amazon s3 kit) and create your bucket.. this is the important part..
your bucket name must be your entire subdomain name
So create
“batman.test.com” as a bucket and not “batman”
NOW you can follow the rest of these tutorials
3) Your name should be a new CNAME entry for your domain. For my example of batman.test.com, the entry was:
* Name: batman
* Type: CNAME
* Value: s3.amazonaws.com.
* (If you are an European users, use s3-external-3.amazonaws.com. instead)
Thats it!
I’m sorry I don’t follow you. How do I make my website nerdorgeek.com
be able to have for example nerdorgeek.com/blahblah/lskjdf
when I click other links on mywebsite?
You need to go to the domain name control panel set the Nameservers to the ones provided by your web host.

That doesnt work with amazonaws.com. You ave to name an folder like your excatly like your domain/subdomain. That redirect domain-com/blabla/blabla2/index.com is avaiable pay hosts (they offer an cpanel, where redirect is easy done).
are you on a free host or a paid host?

paid. it costs $9/yr with coupon
Any fully functional web host will provide you with name servers that allows you to attach your domain name to the hosting account. If Amazon does not provide this, I recommend finding a new web host.
hope this helps you out this looks like the host that you are using

It sounds to me like he might have “Masking” enabled ??
