    I have mysite1.com. I want to use mysite2.com in my advertising, but it would actually send the user to the same site as mysite1.com. Doing this to test the pulling power of different domains but with the same website.

    How can I do this? Is it a hosting thing? A dns thing? Some kind of domain setup?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    You could do a META redirection;

    <html> <head> <title>Redirect to the right page</title> <META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=(enterdomainname)"> </head> </html>

    or you could simply redirect it from you domain account at your domain registrar, then you go to Domain Management and enter the new site where you want to redirect your traffic in the "Forward Domain" field.

    I will be advertising this url using Adwords so I cannot use a meta redirect, as far as I understand. If I use the "Forward Domain" method, will the url display as mysite2.com or mysite1.com after redirecting?

    it will show mysite1.com, I don't know how to redirect the domain so it will show mysite2.com in the address bar, you could try to search it on google
