Website Redirecting (domain forwarding)
I have one domain(x) which is a very log domain.... all of my code is on x. i need to have people be able to type in domain (y) and go to domain x. how would i do this. I need to buy y still but i already know the name is available. If i went to www.godaddy.com and baught domain y how would someone who wanted to visit the site be able to type in domain y and it go to domain x? how would i do this?
Thank You
Dan

they said that it takes a great while for changes to occur even though it says it will only take a few minutes...
FYI there domian servers for . info and .org are experiencing technical problems right now.

You could use a Javascript redirect temporerally (while you can't get the domain properly redirected):

HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location(www.domainy.com);
</script>
