[Solved] Domain ADD alias request

[chrisohps]

Hey guys;

Just purchased theclippercampaign.org and would like to redirect to my existing theclippercampaign.com hosted here with you.

Created a wildcard redirect with the domain registrar.  Is there anything I/you have to do here to make this work?

 

Thanks

Added "alias" in the title for clarification

Ended up adding heliohost's name servers with the domain registrar.

So: Requesting to add new domain name theclippercampaign.org to my account here and have it point/redirect to existing theclippercampaign.com

 

Thanks

When someone goes to theclippercampaign.org do you want them to get redirected so their browser URL bar shows theclippercampaign.com?

[chrisohps]

Good question.  At this point let's go with the solution you suggested: redirect so their browser url bar shows theclippercampaign.com

Since the .com was the url I created email accounts, websites and the one shared publicly, it would then make sense to do the above.

Now, just for my own education, would it have been possible to redirect to the content in .com but have the address bar show .org?  What are the practical options when doing this sort of redirect? What's the technical term for this redirect thing? Would it be too much to ask for a link where I can read up on this and give me a better understanding?

Thanks in advance for your help.
