Then you're still not understanding what your looking at. Even Chrome
allows me to step back 1, 2, 3 or more previous pages that I choose. It
may well say mesaeastpark.com on each of the choices, but believe me,
they are not the first page of your site.

Peter:

Since I've now changed the off-site url's to those I *can* back-button
(I did this last nite at 10:30 MDT) , it would be quite difficult to now
revert to the 'faulty' ones for testing.

The next time I get a 'faulty' Exclusive, I'll give it another try.

Thanks for the comments

Exactly. You have to decide between asking ZoneEdit merely to redirect
a site to a different URL or to ask it to pretend that the redirected
site has the same URL as the requested site. If you choose the latter
then every page of the redirected site has an identical URL which is
the one you asked Zoneedit to redirect.

David:

Instead of asking viewers to enter www.mesaeastpark.com, you suggest
that I instruct them to enter ww2.mesaeastpark.com:4296 ??

I get enough visitors. With your method I'd get none !

I have not been clear. You should continue to ask ZoneEdit to redirect
<www.mesaeastpark.com> to <ww2.mesaeastpark.com:4296>. If you untick
the box marked "Cloak" then the URL displayed in the browser and the
URL that a visitor bookmarks will be the actual URL. If you tick the
box marked "Cloak" then every page of your web site will be displayed
in a frame created by ZoneEdit and will have <www.mesaeastpark.com> as
its URL. The only reason for ticking the box marked "Cloak" is that
you don't want to reveal the actual URL.

Given your number of visitors I don't think that revealing the real
server and port number will deter anyone and I suggest you simply
untick "Cloak".

David:

That's a good idea. I'll try doing that in the next little while.

(btw, is there a chance that my audience (older people like myself)
would be confused by what they see changing ?? My usual viewers probably
don't bookmark anyway ??? )

Thanks for the suggestion !

David:

I 'uncloaked' a few minutes ago. It might take a while to go into
effect. We'll see what happens.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Do you host this site on your own server? If so, just change the server
name to www.mesaeastpark.com. If not, it is Apache, just rewrite the URL
in an .htaccess file

Yes, I use Apache 2.2.10 on an older Dell Desktop beside me in my home
/office (former spare bedroom )

If so, just change the server

I'll look at that later to day to see what transpires (ZoneEdit says it
takes 'a while' for changes to my site to ber implemented/ propagated).

Thanks for the suggestion:

I don't think anybody takes any notice of the URL displayed by their
browser.

I have just visited and your site is now uncloaked.
