The Auto-correct URL Spelling is another feature unique to Whois.com Pte Ltd, and is available ONLY with our Linux Hosting Packages. This tool attempts to automatically correct incorrectly spelt URLs that visitors to your website might enter, by ignoring capitalization and by allowing up to one misspelling (character insertion/omission/transposition or wrong character).

How does it work?

Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the Web server because the request was misspelled or incorrectly capitalised. This tool addresses the problem by trying to find a matching document. It does its work by comparing each document name in the requested directory against the requested document name without regard to case, and allowing misspellings. A list is built with all document names which were matched using this strategy.

If, after scanning the directory,

• no matching file was found, then the server will proceed as usual and return a File not found error.

• only one file is found that almost matches the request, then it is returned in the form of a redirection response.

• more than one file with a close match was found, then the list of the matches is returned to the client, and the client can select the appropriate file.

For example, a visitor to your website types in http://www.your-domain-name.com/home.htm or http://www.your-domain-name.com/Home.html in the browser's address bar, and the actual page which exists on the web server is home.html. Now, if the Auto Correct URL Spelling option is enabled, the visitor will automatically be redirected to http://www.your-domain-name.com/home.html.
