Changing the eCat Online URL #

Some organizations prefer to show their own domain name in eCat Online instead of the standard 'supercatsolutions.com/... URL's. Multiple techniques for doing this are outlined in this article. Some technical knowledge is assumed.

Using an HTTP redirect #

This is the easiest and fastest method.

For all the methods described below, please make sure your redirect is a "301 Permanent" redirect.

Redirect using your name service/DNS provider

Usually the simplest way is to rely on your DNS provider. This would allow you to create a special url of the form "http://mobile. domain>.com"

For instance, GoDaddy has the following instructions: https://www.godaddy.com/help/redirect-urls-with-yo...

Other name service providers provide similar service.

Redirect using your web server

You will most likely have to look up instructions for your specific web server. For the Apache web server, please see this tutorial. For your web server, a simple internet search on something like "http redirect <web server>" (replacing <web server> with the name of your web server) should yield many helpful results.

Redirect using PHP

You can create a very simple PHP script to perform an HTTP redirect. For instance, you can create a file called index.php containing the following (replace with your URL):

<?php
 header("Location: https://supercat.supercatsolutions.com/demo/m/1");
 ?>

Using an HTML redirect #

If you do not have the ability to create a HTTP redirect, but do have the ability to add an HTML files to your web server, this method will accomplish what you need. However, it will be slower; there will be a noticeable pause before the browser gets sent to the mobile site.
