Great. I'll add this for the other two makerspaceu domains.

The issue is related to the way Dreamhost does redirects. You can add a 
single domain redirect (which is what we did have in place) but it 
didn't redirect all subdomains (ie: www.makerspaceu.com)

The solution is to set each of the domains to be redirected as "fully 
hosted" domains in Dreamhost - this creates a folder in the makerspaceu 
user's home directory, where the site would be hosted if it was a 
standalone site- but instead we just put a .htaccess file in there to 
do the redirection.
