    Default Point one domain to another

    I have three domains:

    [mydomain].com
    [mydomain].be
    [mydomain].nl

    I want to point both .be as .nl to the .com without a redirect. This means that if the user fills in

    [mydomain].be/somecat/somepage

    he needs to remain on [mydomain].be. A 301 will not do this.

    I understand that a CNAME record in DNS will help me. However, I can't figure out how to do this in WHM. I tried to create a new DNS zone, and add a CNAME entry in Edit DNS, but it just doesn't work. I still get the

    message... Can someone help me what I need to do to fix this?

    Thanks!!

    All you need to do is park the 2 domains on top of the other (main) domain. Be sure to remove any DNS entries you have manually created so that cPanel can add appropriate DNS entries without issue.

    With parked domains, we use aliasing rather than redirects so the user still sees the domain they typed in when they look in their address bar.

    Parking as mentioned will solve this issue. Parking actually create an Alias name for the parked domain within the same configuration section of the parent domain. So the web files for all those domains will be same.

    Domain parking will solve your issue. But note that to park a domain you should register the other two ".be and .nl " and point these to your server properly.

    Park domain is simply an alias to the main domain ( in your case .com ). means its Document root will be same as that of the main domain.

    You can add the parkdomains from your main domains c-panel
