Can We Have Two Different Domain Names For A Single Website?

Hi,
There are at least two easy ways to handle that:
1. using DNS. if you own the two Domain names you can just make sure the both DNS names will be resolved as the site “real” IP address. the limitation with this method is that you need the “whole” DNS entry to be redirected to you web site IP.
2. Using http-redirect. simply make one of the sites a redirect page for the “real” web-server. this could be easly achieved using your http server software. if you prefer doing it using javascript – you can simply use the following code:
Buy another one at http://www.LocoDomains.com and use their parking service
I will recommend the Business package at http://www.4clickdesigns.com and use .htaccess to redirect one site to the other.
How to redirect fast and easy:
1.create a notepad file and call it .htaccess
2.paste the code below into that file and change the address to the one you want to redirect to
3.upload the .htaccess file to the site you want to redirect just where you would upload your index file and you are ready.
Here is the code, don’t forget to replace the url with yours:
RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://www.yourwebsite.com
Just host the site on one domain and redirect the second domain to the first domain. You can either use cloaked redirecting (the customer will see the first domain name) or not.
Use a parked domain. If you are using CPanel, thant his is pretty simple. Simple add it to the Parked Domain section of CPanel. Other control panels are probably similar. Or you can just do a redirect of the second domain to the first domain. Just make it point to the same area with a redirect. I suggest not cloaking because that tends to screw things up sometimes.
What you are asking for is a redirection service such as mydomain.com. which provides this service for FREE! Here’s a brief outline on how redirection/masking works.
When applied to mask a “homepage” or a “singular index.html webpage”:
If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a “homepage” which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage. Nevertheless, the “homepage” URL is likely to be “http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe… name” and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., “mydomain.com” which allows you to link any number of registered domain names to “mask” another website or a particular “opening index.html webpage.” For example, should you type in “domainname[s].com”, you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber… name will be masked by the domainname.com. And the charge for the redirection service is normally FREE. Here’s a demonstration:
Type in the URL window: “www.pizzanextdoor.com” which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: “http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzame… and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name!
Good luck!
