How to redirect user from one domain which does not have any hosting to another domain which has one

[yrshaikh]

I have a domain1.com with - removed - and a hosting plan with it. I recently purchased another domain2.com from a seller on godaddy.com. That domain is with goDaddy.com.

I want to redirect all request from the "domain1.com" to "domain2.com". So in godaddy there was this option called "Forwarding" where i could enter my destination domain "domain2.com" and select 301 or 302. I selected 302. And now whenever i hit domain2.com in my browser url it gets redirected to domain1.com

However when i enter /http://www.domain2.com (with the /www.) it does not redirect, it opens up the web page which was configured before i purchased the domain from the seller.

What should I change ?

I don't know how Godaddy's forwarding works, but perhaps when you forward domain.com, it ONLY forwards domain.com, not any subdomain of it. www.domain.com is actually a subdomain. So you'll probably need to forward that too, but honestly, it would be best if you just point the nameservers to your hosting provider and add the domain in cPanel as a parked domain, if you're able to do so.

Hello

Yes, ideally, you should simply update the name servers for the additional domain name to ones for the cPanel server. Then, add the domain name as a "Parked" or "Addon" domain name in the cPanel interface, depending on what you want to see in the address bar in your browser.

Thank you.
