I am running business portal on top of sharepoint and I was wondering if there was a way to make it so I could redirect sharepoint to load business portal. The reasoning behind this is so people can type in one word to get to portal insteed of the whole url.
 
If this is for local domain users. On computer running IIS On into the properties of the sharepoint site and add the name you want to the host headers.

When frustrated remember, in the computer world there is almost always a backdoor.
 
The problem I am having is I can make the host header to sharepoint anything I want. Lets say I make it using IIS instead of http:/localsever. I would still have to input to get to business portal. I am trying to find a way to make it so I can input htt;//portal and get directed to Thanks
 
possible solution
create a new website in IIS using hostheader eg portal
open up properties
on the tab "home directory"
select "a redirection to a url"

there might be other solutions but is the one most frequently used
