    you can create a landing page to let old visitors know you have moved a new domain.

    That is enough to install 301 redirect for this task.

    Just forward your .com to the .co.cc. Simple.

    Add your .com to your hosting. Go to the place were you bought your domain and update the .com Name Servers. After this is set up. Forward your .co.cc to your new .com.

    If you do not know to do this. I would be glad to do it for you. Just send me a PM.

    Do you know how to make a domain redirection?It'll be so easy if you know it.Try to redirect .co.cc to .com
    if you have determined to use .com in the end.And also you can check your hosting control panel to see
    whether addon domain is allowed for your package.If allowed,it'll also make it.
