Hello,
I have a question about redirecting domain names.
To protect my web ID I have purchased .com and .ca versions of my .org name. However, currently when a user types in the .com or .ca version they get the same content as the .org version, which is good
. The bad thing is that in the address bar the name stays as typed, i.e. .com, .ca, or .org. For consistency I want the address bar to display the .org version so when a user types in the .com or .ca version, the address switches to the .org version. A working example of this is on the <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/">http://www.davidsuzuki.org/</a><!-- m --> site. When I type <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.davidsuzuki.com">www.davidsuzuki.com</a><!-- w --> the address automatically changes to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org">www.davidsuzuki.org</a><!-- w -->. I was able to mimic this when my .com and .ca versions were not parked on my host. But I need them to be parked on the host so that I can enable email forwarding in case a user sends an email to one of the .com or .ca versions or our old web address.
The redirect feature in cPanel only works for pointing from a file name to a new domain name... and an HTML-side redirect just loops the redirect into infinity.
I would really appreciate your help on this.
Sincerely,
Nathan
