A link domain lets surfers join a site without appearing to leave that site. Link domains are Apache server aliases of your NATS domain and you can create as many of them as you want.

Before setting up a link domain, you need to create a sub-domain of your site in DNS and point that sub-domain at your NATS server. For example, if your affiliate program domain is affiliate_program.com and the member site domain is member_site.com. You would would need a link domain join.member_site1.com which points to the same place as affiliate_program.com.

Ask your host if you need help with this step.

Now edit, or have your host edit, your Apache configuration. Find the virtual host declaration for your NATS domain and add the following line in the VirtualHost section:

ServerAlias join.member_site1.com

For example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName affiliate_program.com
  ServerAlias *.affiliate_program.com
  ServerAlias join.member_site.com
  ServerAlias join.member_site2.com
  ServerAlias join.member_site3.com
  DocumentRoot /path/to/nats/www
  <Directory /path/to/nats/www>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
