"simple" Redirection

[svl2706]

Hi guys,

 

I've got a simple question, sorry if it seems obvious.

Actually I'd like to make the opposite of a parked domain.

 

I've got a customer who owns the domain name www.mysite.com and asked me to buy for him the www.mysite.lu domain (his company is in luxembourg) and asked me that this domain points to the previous www.mysite.com one. My first idea was that the company who owns and handle www.mysite.com does it and park www.mysite.lu but he seems to have fw or no contacts with them. So I bougth the domain name and have it arrive on a TCH account. My question is: how can I redirect the people surfing on www.mysite.lu to www.mysite.com?

 

Is there an easy way of doing this?

 

thanks a lot for your help,

Well,

 

I dont completely understand where .com is. If it is hosted elswhere, not on TCH servers, then you would want to see if you can forward the domain at the registrar level. If the .com IS here at TCH you can open a ticket and have us park it in the .com.

 

If I read your question like I think it should be then the first option would be the way to go.

 

Then again if you have hosting space here for the .lu ccount then you could use the redirect feature in cPanel but that is a waste of a hosting account.

 

Confused? I am.

Hi

 

thanks for your answer.

 

I understand why you are confused (sorry for my bad english but coming from Belgian, I'm French Speaker)

 

The first situation is the one I face. Off course my first idea what to make the .lu domain points to the .com domain at registrar level but I have no way of beeing sure that the company that is currently hosting the .com domain will do his part.

So yes, the .lu is hosted in TCH domain and the .com is hosted somewhere else.

 

About the waste, I'm having a reselle account and in the meantime (I plan to go on on tryint to contact the other hosting company) I'd love to know how I can redirect the .lu to the .com domain...

 

Is-it a little bit clearer now?

 

Thanks for your help,

It sounds like the registrar would be the best place to do it but you can also do it with an account here. As Rob said, a helpdesk ticket will get you working like you wish.

 

I'm moving this thread to backend services for better organization.

 

Best wishes on getting it straight.
