How to setup frame forewarding?

[Lukeee]

pointtechpodcast.ml

Before I got into the whole “top-level domain” thing (lol), I had created a website for my podcast with Weebly. I decided that I don’t want to rebuild a whole new site, now, but I still want “pointtechpodcast.ml” to be what people see when they go to the site, not the URL of my Weebly page. I learned that what I’m trying to do is called frame forwarding and found an article on how to do it. It’s for another hosting provider but I tried my best to translate it to InfinityFree; it’s this article: How to set up URL frame forwarding

So I went to my file manager for the site and tried just creating a new file in the root, “index.html” and pasting the code there with the proper edits. I got an error that I couldn’t make stuff in my root directory which I found really odd since it’s my site and I also can’t even delete folders which is annoying because I have a subdomain on my site that I deleted and the folder for it is still there. But anyway, I went into the htdocs folder because I’m pretty sure that’s the folder I’m allowed to use as main. I created the index.html file there and it didn’t work and going to “pointtechpodcast.ml” still redirected to the Weebly page, showing the redirected URL (I already have the URL forwarding part setup in my cPanel).

Any ideas?

Oh, you just want to set up an IFrame to your Weebly site, on your main domain here.

If you notice in that folder, there is a file called “DO NOT UPLOAD FILES HERE”, and that means Do not upload files in that folder.

Yeah, you don’t have access to the root folder, you can’t delete anything inside of it, but you can rename things.

Yep. Notice the file called “UPLOAD YOUR FILES HERE”.

Wait, if it’s redirecting, that you are doing something completely wrong. You don’t need anything set up in the control panel, so remove whatever you added there.

Follow this guide instead.
