I had an asp.net site running for two domains - one .co.uk - and the other .com. I have now set up on separate hosting a WP version for the .co.uk domain. Next I need to set up the .com domain to point at the same site. What is the best way to do that?

Googling around, there are a few plug-ins that at first sight would do the job - however, none I have found have been tested with Wordpress 4.5.3

I had researched this before but never did it. Not sure you need a plugin read these instructions. [resources.kevinspence.org...]

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind. But at the moment I don't have Mutli-site in operation. This is a simple site written for a niche model aircraft association site - but it performs a useful function to the society and a wider audience. I took over an asp.net site with the two domains pointing at it. It worked fine, but if i hadn't created a CMS site I would have probably been the only society member with the skill and knowledge to run it. So I created the xxx.co.uk site whilst the xxx.com site continued to point at the old server. Problem is that there are several short cut links to key pages that may not work out if I am not careful when switching the more used xxx.com DNS.

Have you tried to Domain Mirror plugin? (Never used it, but it sounds like it does what you need.)

The sites are identical. Finally got a working solution with AddOn on the cPanel and pointing the second domain at the site.
