DNS name servers
    #14808534 - 07/22/11 12:33 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I have a website already setup under a .com and I just bought a new .co.uk which I want to change it to.

Can I just add the DNS details to the new .co.uk and then both the .com and the .co.uk will point at my site?

Or do I need to remove the DNS details from the .com and then change them for the new .co.uk and only have the new .co.uk pointing at my site?


I don't want to muck it up so I thought I would ask you guys first before I mess around with it!

I just thought.  Everything on my host is setup for the .com

So can I just make the new .co.uk work as well as the .com ?

After a confusing chat with my host they seem to think what I want to do is Park the domain.

Does that sound right because they seemed as clueless as me  lol  :confused:

Do you want the web site to answer to both the .com and the .co.uk, or just the .co.uk?

Basically, you need to set a DNS A resource record that points to the IP address of your web server for both domains (.com and .co.uk).  You also need to configure your web server to respond to requests from either domain.
