domain pointing - some questions !

    Hi,

    I just want to clear some doubts before buying a new domain. :)

    My site is www.applications-of-bluetooth-technology.com and I am looking to buy a new domain xyz.com so that users can type xyz.com to get to the main site. I think this is called domain pointing(that what is domain parking ?)

    Now what will happen to my internal links ? they all are relative so does this mean that a link applications-of-bluetooth-technology.com/links.html will become xyz.com/links.html ? but there are lot's of links which are pointing towards applications-of-bluetooth-technology.com ? won't this will overload the server ?

    What is the standard way of doing this ?

    Thanks

    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    make sure that all files from bluetooth will also be uploaded to xyz.com

    here is an example of domain parking: http://www.volkswagentalk.com

    :D

    Just use the standard/cloaked forwarding services provided by your registrar, point your new domain to the existing site. If your registrar doesn't provide any, you may use the free forwarding services by MyDomain. (www dot mydomain dot com)

    Hope it helps.
