    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.
