HomeDoor Users' Guide




Welcome to HomeDoor. The HomeDoor(TM) default home page server, from Open Door Networks Inc. lets you serve multiple domain names from a single Macintosh Web server. HomeDoor is a Macintosh extension and associated Admin application which enables an Ethernet-based Macintosh to redirect requests for particular default home pages to particular subdirectories on any Web server.



For example, HomeDoor can redirect URLs of the form:

http://www.companyX.com/

to the form:

http://www.yourwebserver.com/companyX/

HomeDoor allows you to set up multiple default home pages, or even full virtual domains, on a single Web server, leveraging your investment and greatly simplifying administration and network management.
