I have a fairly short domain name that has a hyphen, which makes it difficult for people to get when I'm talking. I also have TheFullCompanyName.com, .net, and .org (only an example, not really my domain :-) ) so I can tell people to go to TheFullCompanyName.com instead of T-F-dash-C-O-M-P-dot.com over the phone. Much easier. But, I'd like to have the long domains all go to the short domain and have the short domain show up in the address bar. Right now I've got the long domains parked, and it doesn't do that. The long domains show up .

I assume this is a 301 / 302 (whichever is permanent, I can't remember off the top of my head). Or, is there a way to have parked domain act this way?

Thanks,
- Ryan

Parking a domain results in a superimposition of domain names.The domain shown to the visitors is always the parked one.
If you park "H-y-p-e-n.com" on "company.com" you will see the first;otherwise,if you park "company.com" on "H-y-p-e-n.com" you will see "company.com",you see?

So,if you want that visitors/customers use "company.com" as it is more easy to remember, and see in their browsers "H-y-p-e-n.com" you have to put a 301 command on "company.com" forwarding to "H-y-p-e-n.com".Thay have to be hosted separately.

Thanks, that's what I wound up doing and it worked perfectly.
