    Hi all

    I have a hosted wordpress .NET (both hosting and domain with same provider) and a .COM domain with a different registrar

    What i want to do is to point the .NET to .COM so when visitor go to .NET will see .COM in the URL bar and of course when visitr goes to .COM will see the WP blog.

    I should point the DNS of the .COM to .NET servers amd should I also change the URL in the wordpress settings from .NET to.COM?

    Thanks for your help

    Depends on your setup, but the simplest thing would be to setup the second domain as a pointer or alias to the first
    So both domains would be using the hosting provider's DNS and pointing at the same IP address etc

    thanks for the reply but I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean.

    I just want to keep the .com for the visitors - .net should just point to .com albeit the wp blog is under .net domain

    In order to do so
    - I should point .com domain to hosting IP address
    - 301 redirect from cpanel from .net to .com

    would that be right?
