When you have several domains with different extensions and you need all of them to open the very same site, you can have the website under one of them and forward the rest. There are various ways to redirect one domain name to another, including the so-called domain parking. If your website hosting plan allows it, though, it shall be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, e mail addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of those things. For example, if you are building localized Internet sites under various country-code domains, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors shall be redirected to the primary Internet site.
URL Redirector in Shared Hosting
When you host your Internet sites with us and you have a shared hosting plan, you shall be able to use our URL redirection tool to forward the traffic from any domain and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to an alternative web address. The process takes just a few simple steps through an intuitive interface, so you can set up a redirection even when you have zero previous experience. You'll only need to choose a domain address or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to pick the folder where the redirection will be created (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the site visitors must be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to select the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection that you create could be deactivated from the same exact section of the CP, when you don't require it anymore.
