When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open exactly the same Internet site, you can have the website under one of them and redirect all the rest. There are various ways to forward one Internet domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. If your website hosting package permits it, though, it will be better if you host each of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of those things. As an illustration, if you are building localized Internet sites under several country-code domain names, you'll be able to work on them, but meanwhile, people will be forwarded to the main site.

The task takes a few easy steps through an intuitive interface, so you can create a redirection even when you have zero previous experience. You'll only need to select a domain or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection will be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to enter the URL to which the visitors should be forwarded to. For more advanced users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match).
