I have a xoasis acount where i host my domain.how do i point more than one domain to that site.

Example:

I have go.com setup for my xoasis account.
I register yahoo.com and google.com and want it to point to the xoasis account. How do i do it?

is there a free webspace host that does this or something?

Get an account at zoneedit.com and use their domain redirection option.

The other alternative that may seem cleaner and less transparent is to set up a CGI or PHP script that uses an invisible frame to send the user to a certain page depending on the domain (which is an environment variable).

The advantage of this is that your URL does not change to what it really is and it will continue to stay as the same URL so long as you use relative links and both domains are pointing to the same IP.

The only disadvantage is that you have to add a target="_top" to all your links on your main page only (to make it look real...)

Hope this helps ... :)
