    Hi,

    I figure there are a lot of tech experts in here, so before I blindly consult help pages I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a simple way of redirecting mysite.com to mysite.com.au its probably a 301 or 401 or 401k issue?

    As you can tell I am based in Australia and I bought the dot com version on the advice of some other people who said that I should get it so competitors dont or incase people type in the wrong extension.

    The dot com has not info behind it, I just own the domain name. Is it easy and white hat to direct such a site to me?

    Thanks

    yeah just do it with a simple 301 redirect

    do it via htacess

    open notepad and put these lines

    redirect 301 YOUR.COM http://YOUR.COM.AU

    name it .htaccess (with dot) ..select all file type and save the file
    upload it to your host on root

    you are done :)

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.xyz.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

    You can replace here with your website and save with .htaccess and upload in root of your website folders.
