how to forward one domain to another?

[sinthetiq]

i have two domains that are identical, but one is hyphened (site-site.com & sitesite.com) .. i would like sitesite.com to forward to site-site.com .. how would i go about this?

or would it be better to keep sitesite.com and site-site.com separate, but w/the same information?

thanks

Your site hosting provider should be able to make one of these an alias of the other so that they both go to the same place.

I have exactly the same situation and have both domain names pointing to the same IP address.

That is your best solution.

There are two other solutions if you don't want to use that one for some reason.

The first is to place a Redirect or Rewrite directive in the .htaccess file in the root of one domain so that it will redirect all traffic to the other doamin.

The other solution is to put an index.html file in the root of one domain so that it will redirect all traffic to the other domain. This is the worst of the three solutions and I would recommend you not use it.

- have one forwarded to the other

- you can have the setup done by your domain registrar (maybe) or your hosting provider/network admin (definitely, or else switch), depending on how you have things set up. Contact support at your provider.

thanks for the help guys!

I found an option within cpanelX that allows you to setup a redirect. Works great.

Thanks again
