How do you have 2 domains or more for one site?

[Sam1]

One thing that's bugged me a bit is: how do you have multiple domains for one site? As an example of what I mean: adminforums.org adminforums.co adminforums.me all work (although the .me doesn't work properly). Is this something they've done in Xenforo, or something else? Thanks!

I guess it can be done by editing httpd.conf
see this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#serveralias

You can point domains to a central domain, but don't make them out to have their own content because google does not like that.

E.g. if content starts getting indexed as more then one domain, that is duplicate content.

Cpanel - > Parked domains - > Park the domain.
That's all you need to do to point different domains to same location.
( Remember to set proper dns settings in your domain registrar)

thats a very good point you made right there!

Thanks guys! I've always wondered how that's done....

You would actually go Cpanel > Redirects > and then add what domain you want to redirect to what site :ilike:
Edit: It can also be done with PHP, but cpanel would honestly be a tad easier IMO

I guess Sam is not asking about that kind of redirection.
Lets say you have these link on

abc.com​

abc.com/1.html​

abc.com/2.html​

abc.com/3.html​

So if you redirect abc.com to dfg.com using cpanel.
it will be like this

dfg.com​

abc.com/1.html​

abc.com/2.html​

abc.com/3.html​

​

But Sam wants it like:

dfg.com​

dfg.com/1.html
dfg.com/2.html
dfg.com/3.html etc for entire site!

That's not true...I believe...
Once you're redirected to the site VIA cpanel, you're on the redirected site. If I had abc.com/1.html, it would just redirect to dfg.com unless you set that page to redirect to a specific page via CPanel

Yeah right! wild card redirection? :]
I am so stupid at times! :/

 

[YanOri]

Well, he was asking about how to point two domains to same content right?
I don't see redirection there

 

[xpl0iter]

wild card redirection will work I suppose!
