    How can I redirect a second domain to a single page?

    Question:
    How can I redirect a second domain to a single page?

    Example:

    Main website: domain.com
    Secondary domain: domain2.com

    What I want to do is to redirect domain2.com to domain.com/page.html

    You should be able to setup a redirect in cPanel to handle this for you.

      After setting up a parked domain, I assume?

        If you're going to do that I wouldn't set it up as a parked domain. I would set it up as an addon domain or a separate account all together.

          Thanks, I believe that clears it up.

            I'm having the same issue- a customer created four domain names but I want them all to resolve to a single (top-level) site.

            Do I need to create 4 accounts, only one of them 'real', or is there another way. I used to have some DNS functions available on my whm panel, but they aren't there anymore.

              Just create an account for one and park the other 3 domains on top of it via cPanel.

                You are FAST, Andrew! Yes, I was reading other threads and saw that. Curious why you didn't recommend that above?

                If you're going to do that I wouldn't set it up as a parked domain. I would set it up as an addon domain or a separate account all together.

                  cathode wanted to actually redirect domain2.com to domain.com. Doing this would require a redirect.

                  Per your question it didn't seem link you wanted a redirect, you just wanted the domains to display the same website. This is precisely what parked domains are for.

                    Actually, redirect 301 is better, for sake of SEO.
