    Can I do the below and how?

    I have a site located at one server (let’s say it has the domain name: domain.com). I have another domain name (let’s say it has the domain name: domain.co.uk) hosted at another server.

    I would like traffic to domain.co.uk to be redirected to domain.com but the browser must still says domain.co.uk. When you when click at a link at domain.com and it would now normally say domain.com/xyz.html the browser should say domain.co.uk/xyz.html

    This is the easiest thing in the whole world, as long as you have mod_rewrite.

    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    Put that in the .htaccess on the old server you want to redirect. It will forward all traffic to the new pages on the new domain.
