I need a little advice on a matter of a secondary domain name. Basically, my client bought a domain name which is a .co.uk address but as his friend in Austrailia dealt with it the IPS tag and other details are a little hard to come by. I suggested that he bought the .com which was still available and we could get his site up and running immediately (I've just been brought in), and when we get the business of the .co.uk resolved we can set up some redirection to the .com (which is needed as there are some of his products with the .co.uk address printed on them). Any way, what's the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance

www.nic.uk has a whois search the ISPTAG is shown in there.

Search Engines treat ccTLDs differently from gTLDs so you need to consider where your target markets are.

Most search engines will only index one domain if more than one point to the same site.
