Opinion...

I'm not sure there is a best way of doing this.

My idea is:
- create a DNS zone for your .net domain
- point it from your registrar to your .co.uk ip

The best way of doing this, i think should be:
- creating a new account domain.net
- copy and modify all files from .co.uk so they match the new domain

... but it's just an opinion ;).

Since you are in this forum, I assume that its on cPanel.

Just park the .net domain in the .co.uk account. Anybody visiting the .net site will see the same set of pages :)

However, if you want someone to be "forwarded" to .co.uk then use the "add-on domain" feature. Add .net and specify its home folder. In that folder create a index.html file with the following code:

Code: 
<html><head></head>
<body onload="window.location='http://www.yoursite.co.uk';"></body>
</html>
There is one difference between the above 2 solutions. In the first one, the site visitor will see the .net domain in his browser address bar. In the second one, he will see .co.uk.
