Set a domain name to be a default alias path in URL
We are very often asked if it’s possible to setup your site so that the URL of the home page contains only the pure domain in all circumstances - i.e. http://www.domain.com/ instead of http://www.domain.com/home/.
The answer is yes! Actually, you can achieve this aim easily by setting the following settings:
1)
Default alias path: (empty) [Site Manager -> Settings -> Web site]
2)
Redirect document aliases to main URL: true [Site Manager -> Settings -> URLs and SEO]
3)
Use URLs with trailing slash: Always use URLs with trailing slash [Site Manager -> Settings -> URLs and SEO]
4) Choose the document which suppose to be the home page and set its
Document URL path to: / [CMS Desk -> Content -> Properties -> URLs]
5) Add the following keys into the
web.config file:
<add key="CMSDefaultPageURL" value="~/" />
<add key="CMSUseTrailingSlashOnlyForExtensionLess" value="true" />
Setting up the things above enforces you'll see just your domain name in the URL on the home document.
