We have a domain of our own - vjti.edu But we wanted server space, so that we can administer it ourselves.
Hmm... My dear if by administer you mean upload and download web-pages i.e. update pages then you can do that on the free-web-space I sentu .
And constantly update it as mentioned in my earlier mail.
We plan to link this site to the domain name vjti.edu/mca
Ok that you are going to do using Frames.
So All you have to do is register at Brinkster and shootoff .
Should take just abt 10 Mins..
Navin Dhanuka Knowledge is Power. All I want is immense power.
P.S. - I am sending the reply to LUG also, because if I am wrong someone can correct it.
Thanx for the links and sorry for using the wrong tag.

well, previously it was done with frames, but i personally think that that was a bad idea (I thought so then too, but we had a mechanism to support non-frames browsers without actually leaving the vjti.edu domain by mirroring most stuff there as well.)
He wants to use http://www.vjti.edu/mca as the URL and wants 5MB space on any other server, where he can update pages as and when required.
I can only think of Frames or after 1 second change page to http://www.anotherMCAsite.com
Is there any other mechanism to help him.

mod_rewrite + DNS Probably easier. http://mca.vjti.edu/ points there (and adding a subdomain even saves on the domain registration costs, just an A record is required). Saves even on the automagic rewrite if http://www.vjti.edu/mca/index.html is an autorefresh page to http://mca.vjti.org .
<meta>http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://path/to/new/stuff"</meta> is a bit better that a 1 second refresh.

<meta>http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=http://path/to/new/stuff"</meta>
is a bit better that a 1 second refresh.
Other tag could be, <body onLoad="javascript:window.document.location='http://www.gottaswitch.com:8080 '">
This again is faster than the 1 second refresh.

And is the worst solution of the lot.
1. doesn't work with non-javascript browsers 2. doesn't allow users to click the back button on the browser.
Also, any redirect will cause problems for people with visual disabilities.

Well, the problem here is that Harshal would have to keep adding subdomains for everyone who asked for it. For those who don't know, vjti.edu is the unofficial VJTI site run by an ex-student.
Making subdirectories and putting up auto-redirect pages (either using the refresh or frames or through .htaccess) is easier for him than changing the apache configuration.
The frames soln was considered better because the domain name is always visible at the top. Unfortunately, that's also its problem. You see the same url regardless of which page you're looking at.
<meta>http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://path/to/new/stuff"</meta> is a bit better that a 1 second refresh.
that's <meta http-equiv....> but again, not as good a solution. The meta http-equiv tags are merely suggestions to browsers. They may or may not do what the tags tell them to. Browsers are only required to follow instructions passed in the http headers, so adding a header like:
Location: new_url Uri: new_url
or even Refresh: 0; new_url
These can be done through a simple cgi script written in shell:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Location: new_url" echo "Uri: new_url" echo
