    You can do this in your domain CP. You can easily redirect the whole old domain to the new one.

    Where is your .com domain registered? If it's GoDaddy, go to it's CP (in GoDaddy Domain Manager) and click on Domain Forwarding. From there select 301 redirect and enter the .net version. This will redirect all of the visitors from site.com to site.net and site.com/page to site.net/page. Now, the hosting issue. You just need to add the .net domain as an addon domain and move the files from the .com's directory to the .net's directory, just for safety. Then go to the Wordpress CP (or open it's config.php file, I don't have much experience with WP), there you should be able to enter your domain's root and change it from site.com to site.net, so your whole script does not get confused and list all the links as site.net/example-page instead of site.com/example-page.

    I hope I was helpful with that, if I was, feel free to give me a green rep, but that's not a mandatory.

    I am not too much in .htaccess, but it will be more helpful if you have posted your htaccess here. However, I can give you this comprehensive .htaccess tutorial I found recently.

    If you have mod_rewrite enabled, the following .htaccess config will redirect the visitor (and search engines) to your new site - while maintaining the request.

    (ie. if visitor requests "http://www.yourolddomain.com/posts/how-to-stop-satellites-reading-your-thoughts/" , they would be redirected to "http://www.yournewdomain.com/posts/how-to-stop-satellites-reading-your-thoughts"

    Here's the config:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yournewdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
