In case you have a number of domain names with different extensions and you would like all of them to open exactly the same site, you could have the website under one of them and forward the rest. There are several ways to redirect one Internet domain name to another, such as the so-called domain parking. When your website hosting package allows it, though, it shall be better if you host each of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and so forth., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of those things. As an illustration, if you're building localized websites under several country-code Internet domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but in the meantime, visitors shall be forwarded to the primary site.

If you're more competent, you will have a range of advanced options to select from as well - the redirection method (match or direct), the type (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary) etc. All redirections will be listed in the same section, so if you do not need a certain one anymore, you can cancel it with a click.
