I have four domains:

domain.in
domain.com
domain.org
domain.co.in

I want to make domain.in as my main domain. I want to forward all my other domains to it. I want to set up forwarding such that:

  1. domain.com goes to domain.in
  2. www.domain.com goes to www.domain.in
  3. xyz.domain.com goes to xyz.domain.in
  4. abc.domain.com/path/to/directory goes to abc.domain.in/path/to/directory

How can I do that?

You won't be able to do that with the options that your registrar give you. You will have to point your domains to your web host (probably with wildcard DNS) and do it yourself.

Here is a rewrite rule that you can put in your .htaccess file that will redirect any subdomain and path of domain.com, domain.org, or domain.co.in to the corresponding subdomain and path of domain.in

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)domain\.(com|org|(co\.in))$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1domain.in/$1 [L,R=301]

  • Thanks, Stephen! Do you know of any registrar which provides these options? It looks like a very obvious feature to me (for example to redirect misspelled domains etc.) May 28, 2013 at 10:09
  • Registrars typically only off the simplest redirect options. Implement this off of the registrar. May 28, 2013 at 10:12

If you don't fancy rewriting anything, just pop that into a web-page and Bob's your uncle.
