If you have a number of domain names with different extensions and you want all of them to open the same Internet site, you may have the website under one of them and redirect all the rest. There are various approaches to redirect one domain to another, among them the so-called domain parking. When your hosting plan permits it, though, it will be better if you host all of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The main difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you may still have content for it, create subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain you are unable to do any of these things. For example, if you are building localized Internet sites under different country-code domain names, you will be able to work on them, but at the same time, people will be forwarded to the primary Internet site.
