Two domains for one site ?

[dundee_stoki]

Is this possible ? I want say for example actionplumbing and actionbuilding to both come up with the same website, can it be done ?

Hi dundee_stoki,

Yes this is possible by using the Parked Domains feature within cPanel. Simply change the name servers of your other domain name to the same ones as with your main domain name (i.e., the name servers given to you when you signed up for hosting) and then add the other domain as a Parked Domain within the cPanel control panel. A tutorial on how to do this can be found here: cPanel Tutorial - Parked domains

The same thing can be done via the Plesk control panel if you signed up for Plesk-based Web Hosting. Login to Plesk and find the "Domain Aliases" option. This is equivalent to the Parked Domains option in cPanel.

If you have a Windows-based hosting package with the Windows DotNetPanel control panel, login to DotNetPanel and go into "WebSites" and add a "WebSite Pointer"; again, equivalent to the Parked Domains option in cPanel.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!! I was wondering the same thing because my friend has a paper company website and she wanted two names to bring people to her website too.

Choosing to park a domain under a main domain would offer you the advantage of having email accounts and databases (DB's) for each.

Some webmasters may alternately choose to set a 301 permanent redirect for the domains.

This is a very good idea. You will probably increase your traffic and for just a few dollars a year it's well worth it. Looking at your website logs to see which keywords people use to find your site might also help in deciding what other domain names to register.
