When you have a lot of domain names with different extensions and you would like all of them to open the exact same website, you can have the Internet site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are several ways to redirect one Internet domain name to another, including the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package permits it, though, it'll be better if you host all of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you can still have content for it, create subdomains, e mail addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of these things. As an example, if you are building localized Internet sites under different country-code domains, you will be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people shall be forwarded to the primary site.
