In case you have a few domains with different extensions and you want all of them to open precisely the same Internet site, you can have the site under one of them and redirect the rest. There are different approaches to forward one domain to another, including the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting package deal permits it, though, it shall be better if you host each of the domains and create a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The difference between the two is that while a domain address is hosted, you could still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of those things. For instance, if you are building localized websites under different country-code Internet domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but meanwhile, people will be forwarded to the main site.
