Redirect script according to countries

**jestew** · 12-25-2008, 10:17 PM

I have a couple of typo domains and they are pretty well targeted. I want to set up a script that will make it so that when someone from the US types in my website, it takes them to a US affiliate and when someone from the UK types in my domain, it takes them to the UK affiliate. Then, when someone from anywhere else types in the domain, it takes them to a parked page.

Oh, and my Hosting service doesn't allow use of .htaccess files.

If someone could help me out with this or point me in the right direction, that would be great.

You didn't mention what script-language to use, but if it's PHP you can use Maxminds GEO-IP to determine country by IP. Another option (and a bit easier maybe) is to check the language of the browser:
$lang = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
