There are 3 different ways of doing this:
a. URL forwarding. Can be done through your domain name control
panel at most registrars, or your hosting name servers. The forwarded
address is displayed in your browsers address panel.
b. Framing. Leaves the original name (alias) in your browsers
address panel. Not too wonderful cause if you submit this address to
search engines, their spiders won't get to your sites content.
c. CNAME (Alias) forwarding. Very few domain name registrars can
provide this. For global domains try registerfly.com
and UK domains just-the-name.co.uk.
CNAME forwarding allows the new URL to be displayed in the browsers
address panel, and duplicates file names too. Search engine spiders can
access the site content. Problems will be encounted if you're
intending using forms on your web pages.
