How do I forward from one domain to another webpage?

[conzy22]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the previous help...

Now for a new question:

My boss just had me buy a second domain for her business, so that if people visit this sight they can be directed to her main web page. She would like to have this happen automatically...Her web page is: www.amajoy.net and the second domain I just purchased is www.bmc-ma.com. If someone were to go to www.bmc-ma.com can they be directly transferred to amajoy.net or will I need to put a button of some kind on the bmc-ma.com site to direct them?

 

Thanks in advance and all the best,

Jahara

There are really 3 ways:

1. A index page with a traditional Hyperlink... but wasted effort and just another door to open between the user and where they want to be.
   
2. Meta tag or other form of rerouting to the new page. Can hurt rating as many spammer do this to take a "Nice" page and send it to a porn page or virus page etc., SE frown on these things.
   
3. The best and really easiest way is to go into the domain control panel for that domain name and mearly direct it to the same DNS Server name as the other site. Just copy what is in the normal site and add it to the new site so the internet directs the browser there automatically. How exactly to do that depends on the tools offered where ever you bought the name from.
